I know this because I have also been working on something using that magic sqlite-in-browser project :D

In short, it's probably both:

- Innate distrust of all things BSD/GNU meant that the original Go team didn't feel they have to honor the established tradition. Just like dynamic linking, they believed that if there is something that GNU does wrong, they don't need to follow it just for the sake of keeping compatibility.

- Positive experience using gflags convinced the team that the gflags approach (single-dash long flags) is the best one.

I personally think they were wrong here. As Russ Cox himself clearly stated in response to all requests for fixing go flags: there are many libraries out there who implement GNU-style flags. What happened in practice is that most Go developers voted with their feet and chose a third-party flag module (even Google's own Kubernetes is using spf13/cobra). In the end, the Go flags package just ended up causing more confusion and didn't solve any of the problems (perceived or real) with GNU flags.

• serv

  1 10 0.0 Java

  Share easily file / folder over local network (by xonixx)

In fact the use-case I addressed was slightly different (explained in the article) and later I found the similar tool [3] which probably is more powerful.
