Actually I use https://github.com/mitchellh/cli to create a cli for a larger project. I like it because its small and easy to use. This lib is used in terraform. So its mature and reliable enough for me :-)

Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.
I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

Just ordered the C2 as my first mechanical keyboard
On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.
