This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, Iโll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion Iโll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, weโll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.
While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
