Ask HN: What is 2023 layout for Go project?

7 points by transportheap ↗ HN
rust has cargo to setup, python has poetry/pdm to start. both keep semi consistent project layouts. what does go have? seems nothing built in nor really clear from the golang website.

Serious question. Why in the 21st C would any modern language require a "layout"?
It doesn't. OP is asking what's the "best practice" way to set up a Go project scaffold.
Not sure about layouts but look at this:

The author alex edwards is top notch and I have found him to be a great teacher on how to build web apps in Go.

$ mkdir foo

$ cd foo

$ go mod init example.com/foo

$ touch foo.go
