I agree that it is handled better in many other languages. However, Go has some weird thing with imports going on. When I tried to learn it I just could not import a function from another file. Some env variable making the program not find the path. Many stackoverflow/reddit threads condecendenly pointed to some setup guide in official docs which did not fix or explain the situation.

After an few hours or so of not making much progress in AOC day 1 I just gave up and never continued learning Go.
