I have to agree with you. Slackware is rock-solid, but still a beast in terms of software management.
Even between the slackpkg tool and the Slackbuilds website, it's still a lot of tweaking and issues. I had an issue recently on my box where I installed a lot of tools that I needed downloaded from the Slackbuilds website. Didn't run into too many issues getting them installed, however, one day I decided to do the equivalent of a
yum clean all, or
apt-get clean using the slackpkg tool. Well all seemed fine until I ran a command from one of the tools that I installed and it came back with a
command not found message. A little investigating and it seems that when I ran the
slackpkg clean-system command, it really
did clean the system. It seems that since those packages weren't installed using slackpkg the app saw them as packages that were no longer installed. So that led to me having to re-install all those tools again...

go-get
GO-GET(1) General Commands Manual GO-GET(1)
NAME
go - tool for managing Go source code
SYNOPSIS
go get [-a] [-d] [-fix] [-n] [-p n] [-u] [-v] [-x] [ packages ]
DESCRIPTION
Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies.
When checking out or updating a package, get looks for a branch or tag that matches the locally installed version of Go. The most important
rule is that if the local installation is running version "go1", get searches for a branch or tag named "go1". If no such version exists it
retrieves the most recent version of the package.
OPTIONS
-a, -n, -v, -x, -p
The -a, -n, -v, -x, and -p flags have the same meaning as in 'go build' and 'go install'. See go-build(1).
-d The -d flag instructs get to stop after downloading the packages; that is, it instructs get not to install the packages.
-fix The -fix flag instructs get to run the fix tool on the downloaded packages before resolving dependencies or building the code.
-u The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network
to check out missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.
For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).
For more about how 'go get' finds source code to download, see go-remote(7).
