Apparently this repo is NOT any sort of standard, yet a lot of people are fooled to believe that based on the repo’s account name and the project’s name. I see this mentioned whenever this is asked… just an FYI…
Some aspects of that repo are actually language features, such as the pkg and internal directories.
pkg/isn't a language feature. It's just a popular convention that used to be used in the Go standard library.The language feature is the
internal/directory, and it's function of restricting dependencies from external programs.That is correct,
internal/is a feature. I was just clarifying that thepkg/folder isn’t any sort of language feature as you had said it was.
