Getopt like argument parser for Golang.
There isn't enough compelling reasons to use your library as mentioned by n4jm4 there is already docopt. https://github.com/docopt/docopt.go or the standard flag library.

The flag package: strange but good?
or the DSL docopt which will parse the opts from the usage help text.
- Does anyone know a cli module that allows git-like bash sub commands?

Question: Custom argument parsing with flag ?
Nice to find that golang has this tool (I found only argparse adaptation https://github.com/akamensky/argparse). For me, as newcomer, flag is soooo basic. The reason why I still stick with it, because standard approach is more important for my use case, which is one layer upper than single language best parser. I am doing the same thing for various languages to make argument parsing be as easy as configuration change (if you are curious see https://github.com/ashlander/protoargs). That does not exclude potential Kong usage as an alternative backend at some point
