- Go enforces a strict rule against circular package references, which influences layered design.
- Layered design in Go involves organizing packages in a directed acyclic graph based on import dependencies.
- The design is descriptive, not prescriptive, as it's a mathematical consequence of Go's import rules.
- Breaking circular dependencies can involve moving functionality, creating new packages, or using interfaces.
- Minimizing exported symbols in packages enhances the effectiveness of layered design.
- Layered design promotes packages that are useful in isolation, facilitating microservices architecture.
