As I mentioned before, I'm not familiar with the original thinking, but here are some ideas on the advantages of this approach that I can see: 1. it avoids symlinks (I don't like those, they add complexity and mental overhead, and prefer to avoid them when possible) 2. it creates fewer files, so removing Go is less work. It's only one file in /etc/paths.d/, vs. multiple symlinks to go, gofmt, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
