i talked with @happy-kitchen-89482 a bit more about https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/13283, and i think that there would be some definite advantages to actually generating (in memory) transitive 3rdparty dependency `Target`s for more languages (currently just
go
): in particular,
./pants dependencies --transitive
would actually do what users have always asked for, and show transitive thirdparty dependencies as well (with working
peek
)

as mentioned in https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/13283#issuecomment-951175630 though, that would require that we consume lockfiles to generate the transitive graph… and it might also mean that we’d want to namespace targets for one lockfile from targets for another.
so: something to consider as we push forward on named resolves for both languages.
not going to ping anyone here (yet), since everyone has plenty on their minds already
