Learning Functional Programming in Go

A note about Go Dependency Management

At the time this book was written, Glide was the best choice to handle Go dependencies. The How to build and run Go projects section discusses its use in detail.

 

Since then, two new, more widely accepted Go dependency management solutions have emerged: dep and vgo.

 

You can find more information about dep at https://github.com/golang/dep. You can find more information about vgo at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/vgo.

 

 

Glide was deprecated in favor of dep, and dep will be replaced by vgo.

 

As of today, at the time of our book revision (June 2018), I would recommend using dep, but I would recommend using vgo when Go 1.11 is released.
