Neat. I've used reflex in the past for this.

Fzf – a command-line fuzzy finder
entr is written in C, watchexec is written in Rust.
There's another one that I've used that is written in go: https://github.com/cespare/reflex
I am inclined to use watchexec next time I need one.

How do you live reload html pages in development?
rerun your go program when you change a file https://github.com/cespare/reflex
-
Testing flow for Go in VS Code?
There are tools like https://github.com/cespare/reflex that run a command when specific files are changing. You could use it to run go test whenever one of your files changes, so the changes would be reflected instantly in the terminal.

We'll be using Reflex as part of our development workflow. If you're not familiar, Refelx provides live reload when developing.

Hello everyone, I created an Emacs-independent (doesn't require Emacs to be running) agenda notification app. I tested it under Doom Emacs and vanilla Emacs, and it worked fine, please try it and report any possible issues at GitHub. Thanks!
i don't use org-agenda but i was looking at you code and you may want to use fsnotify instead of a timer that may use more CPU than it should:

Running command when file is written to drive
I think you can try fsnotify altrough you will need Go do build the cmd part. Once built you can attach it folder and pipe output to other command.

When to run arbitrary/shell commands in go program.
Why not one of the native Go file watching libs (e.g. fsnotify/notify/etc)? In general you're much more likely to get better control over behaviour from native code than from shelling out.
