Yet we have multiple versions of Java at work (8 and 11) because some (pretty large) third-party components don't support the newer versions yet. Plus for things that do work there are a bunch of irritating warnings and whatnot.

It's not "exceedingly good" at it, it's just alright. Go has done much better for us in this area.

Go has the whole gomodules thing, which I’m not a huge fan of. Go with vendored dependencies sounds really stable.

Pretty sure generics are coming, and this is going to change best practices, and cause re-writes.
