sabdfl: @elopio i started a golang snap since it would be best to shift the ubuntu developer community to that rather than a PPA
elopio: @sabdfl yes 🙂 the solution we are thinking about is to just use something that provides go. And if you get that, the plugin will not install it from the archive. Ideally, I think it should be flexible enough to let you use a binary curled, or a snap, or a ppa, or whatever method you have to get the binary into the build machine.
sabdfl: @elopio i think we can be much more opinionated than that
sabdfl: we want to steer people to reinforce the quality of snaps
sabdfl: i think golang is a great example of a classic snap
sabdfl: compilers in general will suit snaps very nicely
