   Are you asking how to do this in Go or how to do it in general? Here's how the hk app does it: https://github.com/heroku/hk/blob/master/main.go#L120 Basically it reads the arguments to the executabl

   You misunderstand. If you did that then your name would appear on the competitors pages as the funder of edits to that page.

    I doubt it. Apart from the odd algorithm demonstration I haven't found a need to enable Java in my browser for the past 10 years.

    I think it will stand the test of time. The simplicity and explicitness of its syntax means anyone can understand a Go program within minutes. That's going to be a huge positive for code maintenance in situations where the original app

    The web is characterised by all code being visible by default, e.g. "View Source" in every browser. It's agnostic on whether you can charge for that source code, but in practical terms it's pretty tough to publish openly
