How's that any faster than

  npm install express
Not only do npm handle versioning for you, you also don't have to remember the host or username. Obviously Go is a younger community, and could make a package manager some day, but I'm puzzled by how you're comparing this positively with npm.

It is faster because you don't have to install npm, the case I was explaining involves someone with no developing skills.

And I'm not saying this feature of Go is better than npm, I also use npm and I like it very much. What I like is the fact that Go comes already with this feature and I don't need anything extra.

I believe that npm is now included as part of all node distributions.
