From what I read `dep` isn't deprecated, and is right now the recommended way to track dependencies. I used `dep` in a project I started a bit ago (around the time of the announcement of `vgo`) and it's been working out just great.

That said I agree it's super frustrating, and the vgo announcement just had zero finesse. This isn't a language of experimenters hacking away, there are large production systems that run on solely Go code. Upending the main tool (`go` itself) and the versioning strategy is not to be taken lightly.

> Go is rapidly losing the momentum it had for a while now that Rust is starting to become a more stable target and given Go’s inability to address package versioning.

Here I disagree. Rust is fine for small utilities right now, but if you start building larger apps, developing with futures, tokio, and some of the other async libraries is a nightmare. The APIs are moving really quickly (`futures` hit 0.2, `tokio` is on 0.1 so I don't blame them really) and the ecosystem is still extremely immature. I'm excited for Rust, but it's not yet at the point that I want to build a complex application.
