Lightning Talk: Getting The Most Out Of Go Tool Dependencies
summary
Since Go 1.24, tooling versions live in the module file so go tool dependencies in go.mod provide repeatable installs, proxy caching, and a single-file change that fixes tooling for the whole repo; installation shifts from ad hoc scripts to commands like go get -t and integrates with go generate. Limitations: non-Go binaries such as tinygo (wrapped around LLVM) and extended Hugo builds with custom build tags cannot be managed this way and still require containers, ASDF or other runtimes.
