What is the party line on small nested packages?

Think a number of them like signal, all nested under os.

In my case, I'm thinking of making small individual packages for
various financial instruments, all under my trade package, e.g.

github.com/wagerlabs/go.trade/stock
github.com/wagerlabs/go.trade/option
github.com/wagerlabs/go.trade/future

etc.

Among other things, this would allow me to have functions like
stock.Make instead of trade.NewStock, something that I much prefer
aesthetically.

    Thanks, Joel

It's too general a question for a specific answer, but it sounds like
a fine approach to try.

Thanks Rob!

A related question then...

Is there a way to have 'go build' rebuild -all- nested packages from
the top of the tree?

You probably want

go install ./...

though.

I like the idea. One note though, I think the idiom is stock.New() instead
of stock.Make()

Please take a look here:

https://github.com/wagerlabs/go.trade

I restructured everything into small packages and I like it, personally.

Be wary of making packages *too* small.  My probably unhelpful suggestion
is to make a package only as big as it needs to be to be to accomplish a
task. Often you can tell you may be making them too small if you find
yourself needing unexported state from another package or you find you are
introducing a circular dependency.

Because the different asset types (I imagine) share a considerable part of
their behavior, I would put them into a single package.
Separating them in different packages may give you trouble in the future
and force you to export currently unexported methods or types in order not
to repeat code in the other asset type packages.
It's best to keep closely related concept bundled together.
