"Finding Dependable Go Packages"
summary
Explains concrete evaluation signals and engineering choices: Go 1.13 enables module mode by default and modules plus semantic versioning give import-compat rules; checks include license, number of importers, tests passing, commit and issue activity, and transitive dependencies. Mentions tools like goreportcard and staticcheck plus godoc and go test for hands-on verification. Describes a discovery site with mock UI being built to surface these signals (early prototypes, not yet production).
