Between conflating imports and URLs, the weird go.mod syntax, and the nonsense that are GOPROXY, GOPRIVATE and such, yes, it’s a mess.

Honestly, aside from left-pad stuff, even npm is much better. I personally find cargo to be the best one I’ve tried yet. Feature flags, declarative, easy overrides, easy private registry, easy mixing and matching of public/private repos through git, etc. And like go it properly handles multiple versions of the same dep being used, but the compiler will help you when it happens.

Dealing with private repositories does suck, I'll give you that.
