You can use make as much as you like; Go just doesn't need it. You can use Go to fetch code from internet if you like, or you can do it yourself if you prefer.

Regarding the "hardwired" directories, you can change it through an environment variable.

That's the second endorsement I've seen for Go; I guess I should learn it.

In the scheme of "current" languages, Go is pretty good. With two major caveats, IMO:

1) The build system. It doesn't work with make(1). That makes it a non-starter for anything other than trivial projects at $WORK. While I appreciate the arguments for the apparent simplicity of the "go" command, that doesn't work for us. Which would have been fine, but for the entirely antagonistic bent they have taken against being able to build Go programs with make(1). Our build environment entirely precludes Go's promiscuous insistence on unfettered internet access, and hardwired directory paths.

2) Hardwired directory paths for the development/build environment (see above).

It seems they have unlearned all the UNIX lessons. Sad, really. I would love to toss out Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, et al. And could make the argument for it, I think. But the build environment will never work in our shop, therefore Go won't either.

And that ... sucks.
