Take his criticism (not sure it even merits that title) with a grain of salt. Many people on HN and on the mailing list have sung the praises of Go's packaging system.
Yet another Go fanboy getting a bit defensive without having to add anything constructive?
If you actually checked your “claims” you would see that people are singing so many praises that the mailing list is continually filled with proposals to fix the worst parts of Go's packaging system.
Your post has no substance, other than to say some people on the mailing list don't like it. But other people on the mailing list do like it. So your post is meaningless and useless.
If you actually have problems with Go's packaging, and care about it enough to write as much as you have, why didn't you simply point out the flaws?
> Because there are already dozens of people who did that already?
Do you really expect people to scour a newsgroup to find the meaning of your vague and unsubstantiated claims?
Someone could similarly say "Scala is an unmitigated failure of a language. If you want to know why, just track down its detractors on the Internet. There are dozens." Would you be impressed by that?
