I've interacted quite a bit with both Sam and Peter. Your characterization rings completely false. I've never gotten the least hint of the impression they were doing this for self-promotion, but rather to serve to fill an obvious vacuum, perhaps even with a degree of reluctance.

I remember being excited when the “dep committee” was formed, because (if I remember correctly) it was set up with the explicit blessing of the Go Team, with a Go Team Member on it to facilitate two-way communication.

Your characterizations are both inaccurate and ugly.

I think it may be blunt but seems true to me. Sam calling integration of Go module as sad milestone does seem disgruntled.

Dep folks have decided not to take high road which is fine but others are free to call this out.

I want vgo to succeed and I like most of your contributions, but comments like this and the original post (“Sam just wants to be the big man on campus”) are petty and rude. You’re better than this.

Not that I disagree with you. But this unending whining by dep folks is not helping them endeared to me or so many others.

The vacuum was filled, thanks to them. Now, an official solution is being presented. Why is there a problem?
