An advantage is typo squatting gets eliminated (see js or python worlds for why this is an issue).

If you want to move to another domain the “go mod edit —replace” cli tool is designed for this.

If you want to host somewhere else, or maybe change to a vanity url or something, you can just publish a go-import meta tag and it all just works https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths

I don’t write go myself but man did they get a lot of big decisions right. I’d be totally open to writing go in future but I have java so don’t really need it. I envy go’s build and deploy stories though.
