A lot of these bash scripts could be replaced with Go programs. It doesn't take much code for a bash script to get ugly.

Sure they could, but then you would need different compiled versions for different architectures, and this is kind of OTT for the task it accomplishes as it is!

This would be an incentive to package the code, which would mean being able to check it against SHAs. There are a lot of go programs on homebrew now. I'd like to see a trend of smaller ones getting added there.

Or why not make them #!/bin/sh compatible instead, I don't have bash on my systems for instance.
