pkg.go.dev is more concerned with Google's interests than good engineering

Read Original

This article critiques pkg.go.dev, arguing it prioritizes Google's interests over good engineering. It criticizes its initial closed-source nature, reliance on the closed proxy.golang.org, poor handling of decentralized git hosting, and imposition of Go-specific requirements on version control systems, contrasting it with the better design of the Go language itself.
