[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-8051) [Go] Dependency pmezard/go-difflib is unmaintained

["Matthew Topol (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8051?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17524549#comment-17524549 ] 

Matthew Topol commented on ARROW-8051:
--------------------------------------

We only indirectly depend on go-difflib due to relying on github.com/stretchr/testify for the assert/mock libraries. github.com/stretchr/testify is maintained though, so I don't think this is a problem right now.
