No src folder although the official guide tells to?

Hey,

I was wonderin what you think about the official Go documentation, which recommends creating a src folder, whereas you tell us not to.

Here's the link: https://golang.org/doc/code.html

Official Go documentation specifies workspace hierarchy whereas here it's about project hierarchy. That is your project directory is inside workspace directory.
Read this part carefully.

Don't confuse the project level /src directory with the /src directory Go uses for its workspaces as described in How to Write Go Code. The $GOPATH environment variable points to your (current) workspace (by default it points to $HOME/go on non-windows systems). This workspace includes the top level /pkg, /bin and /src directories. Your actual project ends up being a sub-directory under /src, so if you have the /src directory in your project the project path will look like this: /some/path/to/workspace/src/your_project/src/your_code.go.

Okay thanks. I may have misunderstood that. Thanks for pointing out.
