Also, why does pants re-download so many of the go modules? Does it use the

~/go

cache? Does it use its own cache? Or are they really downloaded on every run?

It is somehow related to this issue -> https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/20274

pantsd

is responsible for caching but it gets killed due to OOM. At least this is my naive understanding of the problem 🙂 Go backend is still experimental.
