I love programming in Go but the thought of forking and maintaining every single library I might use in one of my projects makes me also feel we've entered a new, bizarre, and terrifying world. This is literally one step away from "write your own OS and compiler, it's the only way to be sure you get the exact behavior you want".

I feel like every time you point out a design flaw in go, the response that hand-waves away your concerns contains advice that's even more absurd than the problem you were originally pointing out.

Can't get stack traces from third-party errors? Maintain all of your dependencies! Tired of reimplementing common math functions? Just cast all your numerics to double! And so on...
