How to be dependent in Go

For the last few years, dependency management in Go has been a bit of a headache. There are tools, like Glide and Dep, which try to address some of the problems associated with dependency management, but they all have their shortcomings.

The Go overlords answered our pleas for help in version 1.11 and 1.12 and even though we're still going through some preliminary growth pains it looks like it might make our dependency management problem a little easier to handle.

Enter: Go modules.

At the meetup, we'll have a quick look at what Go modules are and how to use them to your advantage.

Thereafter, we'll chat about a few interesting things happening in the Go community.
