Sounds like your company has bigger issues than build system ;)

Try to support a really big monorepo with existing go.mod tooling and you’ll see that it really isnt

Go mod inadequate for Go projects?

Yes. Example of the top of my head - on my recent project (only 50 kloc) go build took 30+ seconds to run when you change one line even fairly high up in the dep graph. When you have grpc/proto or large cgo dependencies and a team of people you need to either dockerize all dev workflows (slow and complex) or write massive bash/makefile abominations (fragile and complex)

And some larger third party dependencies take so long to link to the final binary it’s kinda insane.
