The power of the CLI with Golang and Cobra CLI
We can use the flag with --date or -date, Go already does the automatic check. We can make our entire boilerplate with this approach, but let's make it a little easier and use the Cobra CLI package.

Scripts should be written using the project main language
I use https://github.com/spf13/cobra religiously for this kind of thing - it handles all the annoying corner cases of parsing flags, and also has an intuitive notion of subcommands (with basic usage/help text generated) for picking which task you want to run with positional arguments.

Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags provides a pretty neat way to specify flags and handle commands. Not so much extensible as cobra, but good enough for small cli tools

Show HN: New set of Go libraries for CLI Development
flags aims to merge the concepts from https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags, and https://github.com/octago/sflags, both relying on struct tags to define CLI command specs. The flags library uses these underlying concepts to produce complete `cobra.Command` trees, and brings many comfort-of-life improvements for the generated applications/commands.

Eclipse: python-fire inspired library to simplify creating CLIs in Go, on top of Cobra
