Explore the Athens Project and its impact on Go package management in this GopherCon 2019 talk. Dive into the evolution of dependency management in Go, from the introduction of modules in Go 1.11 to the development of federated module proxies. Learn how the Athens project addresses issues of broken dependencies, improves code immutability, and enhances build speeds through CDN integration. Discover the benefits of module proxies, their current limitations, and how Athens solves common problems. Gain insights into setting up your own Athens server, understand its practical applications, and see a live demonstration of Athens in action. Walk away with knowledge on how to leverage Athens to streamline your Go development workflow, potentially eliminating the need for vendor directories and GOPATH constraints.
