The first commit to this project was on October 31, 2015, almost 9 years ago. It was [268 lines of code](408290f7c2) and it worked pretty well! That was just about three and a half years after Go 1.0 was released. What fun!
At that time there was no Go module system, so there was no need for versioned releases. Later, I started releasing official versions from time to time. v1.0.0 was published in December 2018.
Over the years I've resisted adding a lot of features, and as a result the library is in pretty good shape. I use it in almost every Go program I write, personally, both servers/daemons and command line tools. It's nice!
I live in a Buddhist monastery in Vermont now, not as a monk but as a lay practitioner. I'm working on building a form of Buddhism fit for consumption by AI systems. I love maintaining this little piece of software and I'd love some financial support to do so. I don't have a day job, and I need money to buy firewood, pay for car insurance, and travel to see my folks back home in Australia from time to time.
If you use go-arg please consider sponsoring me. It would make a huge difference to me, and it will create a connection between us. I look forward to many long relationships.
