wrote 10 years ago some code to parse some files. I did that in Go.
Now I can't rebuild it because Go broke shit. (think "modules")
I think I ran out of patience and will probably rewrite it in Rust. I mean the first version was in C++ so why not.
Send me a link to the code. It's probably easy to fix.
It's true the golang modules system is terrible. The language is great, but the tooling has always been horrible.
@purpleidea that package: gitlab.com/photo/e4f-go
That was my "let's learn Go exercise"

Figured it out (a bit of RTFM) and now I have improved the tool.
tl;dr I used an Android app to replace paper notebooks for my film metadata. (shooting info, subject, location, date)
pro: it did GPS too, with time stamps.
cons: need to parse the format. I almost thought I had been careless and lost them
I still have 20+ year old metadata notebooks.

It is, in the broader sense. You are upset because some hipster language did something stupid and broke backwards compatibility. Well that ain't the news.
Your solution is to go to the language that is consistent.
I could never aspire to something so noble as trolling.
But you were bellyaching, and now you have an option, even if your pretense doesn't allow you to take it.
Worse than "troll"?
Oh, my.
