OK. Well, for what it's worth, I use ubuntu and find it much easier to install Go using their website than using apt (which I do use for most things). Thanks for the downvotes guys.
This was in reference to Homebrew, though. In Homebrew, installing Go is simply: brew install go No sudo required, nor 'update' command required first, etc.
Sure, it's that simple until you need a specific non-default version. In cases like that I have found it easier to install from golang.org, that's all I was trying to say.
