Thus solving Go's dependency management problem once and for all.

Solving it by giving it a worse one.

Worse than pulling master on github, really ?

Npm has issues, but it's still way better than the state of the art of dependency management in Go.

Left-pad was bad but the problem was fixed on npm's side after a couple hours. Go's equivalent isn't fixable: https://mobile.twitter.com/davecheney/status/855049071307792...

Pulling master on github isn't the "state of the art" for Go (it's dep and vgo).

`dep` is pulling directly from github … And `vgo`, while promising, is still a protype not ready for production[0].
