I believe you should distinguish between the build and the run environment. Your build environment is largely defined by the language and its ecosystem, e.g. the vendor folder has a semantic for the Go tools. After the build you deploy the resulting artifacts to your run environment. That may be the go binary and files in a vendor folder. But the semantics of that vendor folder is different.
