Compiling any larger go application would hit this limit almost immediately. For example, podman is written in go and has around 70 dependencies, or about 200 when including transitive dependencies. Not all the depends are hosted on GitHub, but the vast majority are. That means that with a limit of 60 request per hour it would take you 3 hours to build podman on a new machine.
@UnityDevice @sxan it doesn't apply in that particular case since in Go you'll by default download those modules through proxy.golang.org
Oh, that's nice, TIL. But still, there are other projects that do just directly download from GitHub when building, buildroot for example.
@UnityDevice for sure, I was just nitpicking that Go projects in particular happens to be protected, at least as long as Google keeps providing that proxy…
