Having a single executable tool that you can download and run anywhere is super powerful. You develop once and you build it for every system. It's the definition of delight to me.
- kasey_junk 10y agoI'd argue that CLI tools are really a better example of what Golang is good at. Most of the things purported to be major wins for Golang on the server side are available or better in other environments. For CLI programs that need to be a little more sophisticated than bash Golang is quite nice.
