> that’s stupid because people don’t typically use folders as if they were packages. Folders are typically used just to categorize things of similar meaning or naming or whatever you want You might do that. That does not mean everyone organizes things like this. What your chicken/egg example fails to realize is that things rarely just belong in one category. Chickens can be animals or food. To me it just sounds like you are trying to write another language while using Go. Of course you will see problems. Just as you would see problems trying to write Go code when using Java. In the end it comes down to this: if the language does not fit your mental model on how to do things, don't use it. But don't go around shitting on the language just because you are used to using folders differently than other people. Using a language also means learning and using the conventions of that language. |

Most people do organize things arbitrarily based off of their own categorizations and opinions. In fact such an overwhelming majority of people who use operating systems do this that it's pretty much universal.
>What your chicken/egg example fails to realize is that things rarely just belong in one category. Chickens can be animals or food.
So what. I choose not to eat my chickens. So I Choose to categorize it in a way that makes sense to me. Why should I conform to your point of view? Why should I conform to golangs point of view? Why can't you and I choose how to do it?
>To me it just sounds like you are trying to write another language while using Go. Of course you will see problems. Just as you would see problems trying to write Go code when using Java.
No. I'm complaining about go. I think it's dumb. I'm not doing OOP here, I hate OOP. Go is waaay better. This is orthogonal to that problem.

Yeah that's how all complaints and criticisms are sidelined. "You don't like it, don't use it. Use something you like." Obviously.
I'm doing exactly that, while saying that go packages are a poor and horrible design decision.
I think a lot of people hated java, and found go and they think because go is so much better then java then that means go can do no wrong.
I don't think you realize there's stuff way better then go out there. But that's besides my point. What I use is separate from my point: Golang packages are poorly designed.
