GoReportCard is struggling with go 1.18 and golint

[spekary]

GoReportCard's github is reporting the following:

Go 1.18 generics is not working in gofmt or golint

golint has been deprecated and is not likely to be fixed.

GoReportCard has removed golint from its list of tools. I have recommended to them that they use staticcheck instead.

So, at this point in time, we will not be able to evaluate code quality with a linter unless we run it ourselves.

@avelino how shall we handle this? GoReportCard currently has no linter. I have recommended that they move to golangci-lint.run. Should we start asking for an output of that, or set up our own golangci-lint.run, or just accept whatever goreportcard is producing for now?

Sorry for the delay in answering

As GoReportCard does not yet support Go 1.8 (generic), we will disregard this iteM from the checklist and validate the others

GoReportCard is an open source project and this issue was opened there, we can contribute to it gojp/goreportcard#381

As a second step we need to have our tools to depend as little as possible on third-party services
