This is something seldom attempted, but I congratulate you. Go is one of a few languages that really is batteries-included. Just about anything you could need is included in the stdlib.

One of the reasons I prefer it over something like Rust for most projects. I don't have to waste time figuring out what third-party library is the defacto standard that I should be using.

It’s a tradeoff. Do you prefer to be stuck with bad built-in file and time APIs, or a robust ecosystem of external crates?

Great example, and more of a horror show than I anticipated.

It would have been interesting if the author had a suggestion on what the Golang team should've / could've done instead, beyond correctly communicating the nature of the breaking change in the Go 1.9 release notes.
