CLI application libraries, updated versions (readline and spf13/cobra console).
A cobra command console: https://github.com/reeflective/console: this library targets a much more restrained set of application developers, which are interested in closed-loop CLI applications with specific sets of commands, and generally deprived of any specific syntax outside the one-liner command model. It relies on the `readline` library above, which is tightly integrated so as to provide a console application much more powerful than most, with complete support for the [spf13/cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) library.

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.

Libraries for CLI and console applications
I’ve used multiple libraries over the last two years but less is more and go-arg feels like something that would be in the stdlib: https://github.com/alexflint/go-arg

Recommended framework/library for creating cli apps in go?
I personally swear by the go-arg package, as i prefer its library-not-framework approach.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing console and go-arg you can also consider the following projects:
go-flags - go command line option parser
argparse - Argparse for golang. Just because `flag` sucks
flags - Generate cobra command trees from structs. Go-flags compliant tags. Advanced CLI functionality, out-of-the-box.
flag - Flag is a simple but powerful command line option parsing library for Go support infinite level subcommand
dnsee - See DNS configurations quickly
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
readline - Shell library with powerful and modern UI, large feature set, and `.inputrc` support
cidr - CLI to perform various actions on CIDR ranges
viper - Go configuration with fangs
go-clap - Lightweight, non intrusive Command Line Argument Parser
