What Hacker News says?
> Hub, the previous Github CLI, was written in Go too, so I don't think this is much of a surprise. Hub was originally a collection of Ruby scripts for ±3 years [1]. They later refactored the code to use Go: • Initial commit on Dec 5, 2009 was 100% Ruby code [2] • @jingweno started a refactoring using Go on Apr 8, 2013 [3][4] • The Go rewrite was merged to master on May 23, 2013 [5] [1] https://mislav.net/2020/01/gi…

HN discussionWhat's wrong with the URL? I see %EF%BB%BF when I cut and paste out of Chrome, which appears to be a Byte Order Mark. I have heard of this before (related to: how to remove the byte order mark) but I've never seen one in the wild. http://owenou.com/2013/11/27/writing-build-tasks-in-go-with-...
