I have read the Go 1.8 release notes and I found that now GOPATH has a default value. This is a great thing: I have always I thought that GOPATH is one of the weak point in the Go toolchain, both when I started programming in Go and when I read the Go Programming language book.
However I think that the default value of $HOME/go is not the ideal one. My settings are GOPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/go:$HOME/src/go/ GOBIN=$HOME/.local/bin Python also installs user installed modules in $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.Y Thanks Manlio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
