This repository has multiple serious issues (original) (raw)

The existence of this repository is harmful for Go beginners. People arrive here from Google searches, looking for ways to structure their small, simple packages. What they find is overwhelming, at the least.

It has several serious issues:

1. No go.mod file, while modules are becoming a standard for Go dependency management
2. Suggests to place all exportable code in pkg/, which is outdated advice and no longer recommended for Go projects (as it adds a superfluous path component to every import).
3. Has a large number of directories, most of which aren't needed by 99% of projects

Please either spend some time to modernize this project, or delete it
