Awesome! Kudos to you. I wasn’t trying to be discouraging by questioning why JS; I just like to keep my shell scripts dependency free. The frowny face was meant as commentary on the trend of using JS when it might be overkill. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
But the go port looks nicely done, and with a fast turnaround time! :) I will be using it, so thanks.
Also, welcome to HN.
