I don't think the Go team doesn't listen to the community about modules, quite the opposite technicaly speaking. But i share your concern about proxy.golang.org being the default. Because of privacy but also because it immediatly break private repos and some country. I believe it could be just fine if it's opt-in, specially that in the alpha stage... And thanks Ian for your writing. I'm every day surprise to see how a language can fit at the same time a big compagny and an independant developer ! scaling is that ! -- Wilk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
