    Interesting. I’ve never personally had too many issues with startup. I actually thought Golang already had something like this built-in with ‘go mod init’. Looks like i was wrong…

    Having boilerplate does help.

    Cobra CLI is pretty great if you will only be using your binary on the cli.

    I must be grumpy because when I saw the blog post I thought it was kind of dumb when git clone gives you all you need and is universal. It felt a bit like a needless solution.

    That being said, integration into gopls and IDE: yes please and thank you. 👍
