My apologies for the "double negative"/"tautology".
I must have been a little emotional after reading package names starting
with "extra/golang-golang-".

"C" is just a letter of the alphabet ;), much likely nobody using Arch
Linux does confuse the letter of the alphabet with the programming

Hi,
my apologies for the bad satire.
Is there a rational for naming packages "golang-golang-"* ?
Probably naming packages just "go-"* is suboptimal, but actually the
language is called "Go"

I don't know whether it's a good reason, but there's definitely a reason.
There are basically two kinds of Go packages with a golang-* prefix in
the official (non-AUR) Arch repos:
- golang-golang-x-* packages, whose Upstream URL
I went through and checked all the go-* packages, they are all executable
binaries not modules, hence they use the name of the project, which is as per
guidelines.
The golang-* packages seem to be using an interesting naming scheme. They do
use the full module name but strip out the TLD - hence
Okay, so here is the authorative answer to this thread.
`golang-` is originally meant for source-dependencies in an effort to devendor
upstream. This effor was abandoned in 2019 as Go modules became a thing.
If you are curious about the naming scheme, see the Fedora and Debian package
guidelines.

At least the one and only shared library needs to be replaced, a task
that isn't that easy to do, while the 300 outdated libraries of
