go modules is one of the hardest things about learning go as a new learner. most of the documentation talks of gopath. the go mod error messages are extremely cryptic. why are go mod vendor and go mod tidy different commands?
the lack of “one true way” is very strange. some projects module. some projects check in dependent source code. some projects have a version number in the package name. do i download with go get? or go install? or go get -u?
i can’t think of another build system that has so much variation just in declaring and importing dependencies
