On the surface, it's an idea that really appeals to me.

But when it comes down to it, shell scripting is the hardest space to break into. When I need a quick shell script is not when I want to learn a new syntax, and this is different enough from plango that I'll still to turn plain old go first.

And go is waiting behind perl, which is behind Python, which I only turn to if PowerShell won't do, which I only bother to use if I don't already have a bash approach.

I'm pleased to be aware of the option, though.
