Just to be sure: did you write the go imported from scratch? Because a

Oh. Yeah, I did based on Go-Search and with inspiration from Jakob Kreuze.
I just found the WIP golang.scm among the patches, see #35627. It relies
on unstable github tarballs for sha256 hashes which in my view is not a
viable approach. Also it was lacking an easy road to recursive import
which is really what we want IMHO.
My patch is quite concise in comparison and also extract licenses and
readme's from github. It also has a complete list of the dependencies
and can be easily extended with recourse-ability.
Only the hashing is missing now, besides the calling script in
guix/scripts/import and documentation.
Anyone know how to calculate the hash based on a checkout?
