Of course you can. But it would be hilarious considering Java Module system (Jigsaw) which took decade in making still does not support versioning. People are left to use bloated crap like Maven or Gradle. But since these products are called "enterprise grade" developers are not supposed to call them crap that they really are.

Ah yes the good 'ol "bloated crap" argument developers love to fall back on when they don't know what they're talking about.

What exactly is "bloated crap" about maven? It works exactly as advertised and a heck of a lot better than go modules/vgo.

If you say XML you lose (it is a config fmt get over yourself...). If you say it downloads the world I suggest you look at the output scroll by on any decent sized project in Go land.

So enlighten us all please with your wisdom.
