You should rather look at go.mod file, and it doesn't look bloated at all. They could maybe drop cobra and use something with less dependencies, they use pflag package already so maybse use only that, but uhh I've seen much, much worse worse, as a daily Go user I'd say it's fine

> You should rather look at go.mod file

no. the whole point of go.sum is to see everything. you could have a go.mod with a single item, but if that item is a giant module with hundreds of third party imports (as in this case), its quite misleading.

uh where? I am a daily Go user, both professional and personal. and this is one of the most bloated modules I have ever seen.
