> Java package structure mirrors the file system, no?

No, it mirrors the directory structure, from import location, without any reference to DNS servers or source code repositories.

All in all Go is a Java 1.0, with all plus and minus that it entails.

Just want to point out that Go can also be used without dealing with DNS servers and repos in a similar way to Java.

The big difference is you have to place the code in the $GOPATH with the right directory structure and disable mod (GO111MODULE=off)
