At least i have found it limiting when I want have a mix of languages, and i am forced to have all the go packages in the root folder or live with strange package names. Hate is used a bit too often for my liking - nuisance would be more appropriate.

You are right that it is solvable. And in many other languages the package management etc have grown independently of the core language itself, from the community. So the attacks on the golang team seem a bit strange. Maybe they thought that these solutions would come from outside the core language team.
