I've been struggling with a Go application that's currently not packaged under Guix.
The importer would seem to generate around 300 Go package definitions. Then there's at least a handful of cases where the importer fails and definitions would need to be created by hand. Plus the definitions need to be tested and those that fail to build would need to be manually fixed. Rather laborious, it'd seem.
I'm starting disliking Go, but then doubt creeps in. Is it Go, specifically, or is it just that this time I'm unlucky and *I* have to do the packaging work?! Spoiled free software brat or facing a real example of dependency hell?
