There really isn't a huge difference, both have workspaces, and both allows you to add arbitrary go.mod or Cargo files where you want. The biggest difference is that go defines a module as a folder, where rust does it pr file. That said I don't know how that plays into how it is compiled.

Any of these subpackages, if they don't have a go.mod file, would require defining their dependencies top level as well, and when you go get the package you would need to pull everything, even if you only need a subpackage. Which usually isn't a problem, because golang is super fast to compile.

I get that they aren't identical, but tbh they are pretty close

Additionally Go requires search and replace all over the place, if a module ever changes it SCM location, and having internal build caches for the company, not even bother.
