Go is probably a winner for the time being for CLIs, just the fact that I can cross compile for 3 platforms with a very simple script makes it very attractive.

- koolba 9y agoSpecifically it can cross compile to a static executable. It’s quite pleasant to just copy a compiled Go program and have it just work.
- asdjlkadsjklads 9y agoYea, this is now a requirement for me on any future languages i use. Coming from Py/Node, single executables blew my mind.
- tanin 9y agoI agree. Golang is the winner at the moment because it supports compile to Mac, Linux, and Windows. The deployment of golang app is just so good (no extra installation) that I can ignore its lower level of abstraction. Other native languages should be able to do the same in the near future (I hope).
