Looks very interesting for command line tools. Are all these packages included, or do they have to be downloaded/installed prior to using? http://golang.org/pkg/
It looks like third party Go packages are cross platform, text based (non-binary). Is this so? That would be awesome for easy deployment in a multi platform pipeline. // Fredrik On the topic of introducing other languages in a studio, has anyone had > experience trying Go in a production VFX pipeline?
