Shell/Python vs Go - practical notes form a reimplementation project
Next up was parsing arguments. I've written before about some of my basic frustrations with out-of-the-box Go, one of which is around argument parsing. I've since solved this issue for myself in the form of my GoArgs package which offers short-flags and long-flags, positional argument unpacking, and additional handy options such as mode-switched flags.

Shell/Python vs Go - practical notes form a reimplementation project
Several years ago when I was still a bright-eyed and busy-tailed distro-hopper, I kept on running into the same problem: "which package manager command and keyword combination do I need on this distro again??" I wrote a simple script I called Alpacka and whose command I rendered as paf (naming choice lost to history at this point) to help me. It supported a variety of package managers, and is still available on gitlab as Alpacka
What are some alternatives?
