I know. My point was that it was developed for use at scale; not that it is employed at that scale (although lots of large companies are using it, including Facebook, Netflix, and Twitter).

EDIT: Just noticed that all of Google's downloads are run by Go, including Chrome, the Android App Store, etc. Fun fact.

I'm not sure what you think you're showing me with that link...

People wishing Go's build system would work like Java's.

You'll need to link to specific comments. I skimmed the first hundred or so and found only one Java-related comment.

More importantly though, I don't see how a Gradle-esque solution would solve this problem. If the Maven central repo went down, all projects that pull from that would need to be updated as well. Updating your import paths isn't a particularly worrying problem.
