Command line parser library, which one do you like the most, regardless of language?
My favorite is probably trollop but I haven’t needed to write a cli in years. Clap is also great, but the best I’ve used is probably Click which is saying something because I absolutely hate Python. Also deploying is a completely separate problem from which library is best. Click is by far the worst to deploy, then Clap, then trollop.
