Thanks for sharing your experience here, I'll go straight to lego when I go to set it up. It's hard to beat the simplicity of a Go binary for system tools like this.

How is a binary simpler then a script?

True Go binaries like lego[1] are statically compiled (zero external dependencies). No need to fuss about versions of installed dependencies, updates, package management, etc. You just run the binary and it just works.

Can't you package a script with all required dependencies, including the interpreter?
