To me the weirdest thing about Go is the package/directory thing

It's a weird way of enforcing structure and the last time I looked into it I couldn't get my head around it

That's supposed to have gotten better but yeah, IIRC I dabbled in Go about five or six years ago and that was one of the big headaches, together with the whole $GOPATH thing.

ASDF in Lisp does it too. I absolutely hate it and I agree it doesn't make any sense.
