Something I didn’t see listed was the lack of a package manager for protos.

For example if I want to import some common set of structs into my protos, there isn’t a standardized or wide spread way to do this. Historically I have had to resort to either copying the structs over or importing multiple protoc generated modules in my code (not in my protos).

If there was a ‘go get’ or ‘pip install’ equivalent for protos, that would be immensely useful; for me and my colleagues at least.

Thanks for sharing! Yes things like this would help solve our problems.
It is mentioned under the "Bad tooling" section
Oh my mistake, must have missed that.
