How many files can one have in the root of a repo? xD

*screeching noises*

all of them

As many as the FS allows. I guess. They are at v74. They also use super long names. Funny have any idea what type of practices they follow.

@hjk101 a certain os whose Name Windows shall not be named to protect from being bullied still has the 256 char limit of MAX_PATH... They're gonna be in trouble.

I recall a HN article about how Rust's module system sucks because the unit of compilation is separate from the hierarchy and so complex modules are tolerated, whereas Go encourages small self-contained modules by tying the unit of compilation to the folder structure.

Apparently complexity is sometimes just a fact and the failure to handle it cannot be painted as a feature.

Is there a limit?

@lorentz Actually we learned from the mistakes of Java and stopped tying code to the file system a long time ago. Seems like Go is repeating the mistakes from the past and is glad about it.
