From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Go pisses me off with that. I separate projects the way I want but go wants every project written in go in one big directory?

I really didn’t like this either. It’s quite surprising, because the rest of Go tooling is quite nice. Not having a venv, or at least something like pnpm-style node_modules is weird

Why would go have a virtual environment or dep tree like node_modules equivalent, it’s not interpreted or dynamically linked.

With modules, dependencies can be vendored.

Obviously it’s not, but you have to download all this shit somewhere before compilation. That’s the whole point
