Update on my current build: still working on the same CLI tool I mentioned before but it's grown significantly. What started as a simple script to automate a deployment task has turned into something with proper subcommands, config file support, and a plugin system I didn't plan for but that emerged naturally from the requirements.
Using Go for it - the single binary deployment is exactly right for a tool that needs to run in CI environments where you don't want to manage Python versions or npm installs. Cross-compiling for Linux, Mac, and Windows from one codebase with GOOS=linux go build is genuinely one of Go's killer features.
Also started a side project over the weekend: a Raycast extension for a workflow I repeat constantly. TypeScript + their SDK makes it surprisingly fast to build. If it turns out useful I'll share it here.
