Or just run it directly from your script on any platform/arch that has go - no need for root to install an outdated distro specific package go run github.c

  I'm not big on using language-specific tooling. Programs need to be part of the package manager management loop of a distro to ever be adopted, especially for developers who don't use those languages. Using language-specific package managers can only lead to out of date software, security bugs, and other nastiness. Same reason I don't install programs with pip, npm, or other crazy things.

    Then do your part and become a maintainer. I don’t think that a small team of developers has cycles to do that at this point.

      Basically, CLI tools like this one or fzf, rg, fd have to become popular and useful enough to win favour of distro maintainers. When enough shell scripts state a dependency on `jq`, debian maintainers would be inclined to package it.

        And they did. jq is packaged in Debian now.
