  > Hub, the previous Github CLI, was written in Go too, so I don't think this is much of a surprise. Hub was originally a collection of Ruby scripts for ±3 years [1]. They later refactored the code to use Go: • Initial commit on Dec 5, 2009 was 100% Ruby code [2] • @jingweno started a refactoring using Go on Apr 8, 2013 [3][4] • The Go rewrite was merged to master on May 23, 2013 [5] [1] https://mislav.net/2020/01/github-cli/ https://mislav.net/2020/01/github-cli/ [2] https://github.com/github/hub/tree/de9bfa2103ee81a547d4fc598a91a3ec06536b0e https://github.com/github/hub/tree/de9bfa2103ee81a547d4fc598...
