Go doesn't need to have shebang support, the kernel will provide that. But for the record it will work: frodo ~ $ cat t.go //opt/go/bin/go ru

Go doesn't need to have shebang support, the kernel will provide that. But for the record it will work: frodo ~ $ cat t.go //opt/go/bin/go run $0 $@ ; exit package main import( "fmt" ) func main() { fmt.Printf("Hello, world\n" ); } frodo ~ $ ./t.go Hello, world Otherwise there are a bunch of go-interpreters out there, which can be used for adhoc scripting. I'm sure that in some circumstances they can be useful, but I've only used them for providing extensions / scripting to host-applications, rather than trying to use them interactively.
