Shout out to xdg-ninja - it’ll find files that are in your home and suggest how to configure the app to use XDG instead. https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/xdg-ninja
Golang puts shit specifically in
$HOME/go
. Not even.go
. Just plaingo
.Why is it so difficult to follow industry standards
That’s what happens when you don’t set $GOPATH I think
That doesn’t make it better.
Google
following industry standards

Go pisses me off with that. I separate projects the way I want but go wants every project written in go in one big directory?
But what’s the difference? It’ll be in /home anyways and I heard BSD had some issues with something that could be XDG.
To give one example, what if someone wants to have more than one set of options for the same app? That’s something I’ve needed before, and it’s really hard to accomplish if the app always looks in one specific place for its options.
