pkg.go.dev is more concerned with Google's interests than good engineering

A critical take on pkg.go.dev, arguing it prioritizes Google's interests over good engineering. Key complaints include: it launched as closed-source, routes all module fetches through a closed-source proxy (proxy.golang.org) without user disclosure, hard-codes a list of centralized git hosting platforms ignoring self-hosted instances (GitLab, Gitea, cgit), and requires Go-specific meta tags in HTML on git hosts. The author contends the site introduces regressions over godoc.org and only improves visual style, reflecting Google's product-shipping culture rather than principled engineering.
