I like seeing more CLI tools in Go. What's the difference between yours and sivel's? (in addition to Python vs Go)

  My friend does nothing but rave about Go - have you worked in it personally?

    yes, built part of my previous startup on it. It has its use cases.

  I'd say the two biggest differences is with mine (the Go version) you have a little more control over what you are testing. You can test upload and/or download and/or ping response with a few different algorithms. The main reason for me (why i created this) is that i wanted to have a binary with no dependencies. Granted Python is pretty much installed everywhere, but this will allow me to run the same binary on Linux, Windows, Mac without the prerequisite of having anything else installed.
