I did. Contrary a point above, I vendored dependencies in Go in 2012 the old school way: copy them into a vendor directory. It worked fine for end-user binaries, and you didn't have to worry about painfully long builds like you can get doing that with C++.

The Go authors have explicitly stated they don't do things until they figure out the right way to do them. No language gets it all right out of the gate, but Go got pretty close with e.g. its standard library.
