Some ideas:

  • Make sure all tools that can be installed with modules
  • Consider using one of the newest stable Go versions to build tools regardless what target go version user is using for the project.
  • Consider pinning tools at specific major versions to avoid breakages (an idea, not necessarily something I'm advocating for)
  • Any tool that self-reports its version should be used to offer upgrades (like is done for gopls)

I'm sure there are other improvements we can make, so please add more here.

We are using module mode already.
We will pin the versions of tools to handle compatibility and security - which will be tracked in golang/go#52017
