    pkg/ isn’t a language feature. It’s just a popular convention that used to be used in the Go standard library.

      The language feature is the internal/ directory, and it’s function of restricting dependencies from external programs.

        That is correct, internal/ is a feature. I was just clarifying that the pkg/ folder isn’t any sort of language feature as you had said it was.
