Go Modules by Shannon Pekary


Details
This month we have Shannon Pekary, which is coming to go-mad, to speak about Go Modules. After the meeting, we will have some beers and pizzas sponsored by source{d}.
With the release of GO v1.11, the go makers announced that in order to build GO programs in the future, developers will have to use a new feature called go modules. Currently, using go modules is optional, but in some release in the future, it will be required.
We will be discussing how to use go modules, what advantages GO modules bring to your build systems, but also some workaround for the current problems and limitations, in order to prepare you for the change.
