Yes, I have most of it already built and will be releasing it later today or over the weekend. The reason I chose Golang is because it can be cross compiled to be run on any system and distributed as a single binary with no dependencies. This means that no one will have to worry about building it or having to change their environment at all in order to use it. I am trying to lower the barrier to entry and make it as easy as possible for people to contribute back their CI execution details.
