Has it found success in OS-level utilities? What popular utilities are written in Go?

  Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow: - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1] - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2] - massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3] - gotop: a `top` clone [4] - micro: a nice TUI editor [5] Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

  Not sure what should be counted as OS-level. Is docker cli and OS level? What about lazygit? chezmoi? dive? fzf? Actually many popular utilities are written in Go

  Docker and Podman.
