I have not done much GoLang development, but I am working on automating some dependency updates for our kubernetes operator. The language may be good, but the ecosystem still feels immature.

Too many key libraries are on version 0.X with an unstable API. Yes, semantic versioning does say that you can have breaking changes in minor (and patch) releases as long as the major version is still 0, but that should be for pre-release libraries, not libraries ment for production use.

GUIs are easier to learn, but they are not always available. Many services only have a CLI client. If you are connecting to a remote server or, especially, a container to debug it, it may not have a window manager installed. If you know how to do something via the CLI, you can automate it with a shell script.

I have not read the PEP itself or the PEPs that they claim to simplify, but this feel like a very bad idea that only really benefits Meta and a few other mega servers. It is enabling a micro-optimization that is only usable in a niche use case (forking long running processes with shared memory). Unfortunately, it is making all other python applications, on average, 2% slower. This is a minor regression but it hurts everyone and benefits almost no one.

Also, when you find a script try to understand what commands they are using and with what flags.
