I'm trying to wrap my head around modules.
When importing other packages into my project, there is a module prefix.
For example,
import (
"example.com/potato/tomato"
)
will import the "tomato" package from the "example.com/potato" module.
But this whole time as I've been learning the language, the standard
packages can be imported without any explicit prefix:
import "fmt"
and I found a go.mod in my Go distribution's standard library [1], so
that suggests to me that the standard library is implemented as a module
too.
Why don't I have to supply a prefix for the standard library packages?
Is this just a special case?
