Honestly I don't think Go's dep system, which is still developing, is any
worse than Python's, which is also still developing.  The big win for us
(devs, ops, everyone!) is that the hassles are build-time, not
install/run-time.  Once you have a build, it will run.  I dream of a time
when we are free of the madness that pip leaves us in, at every turn.
