Our CLI was originally written Node.js with npm , 2 years ago. We have now migrated to Go !

It was something we quickly hacked together at the early beginnings of Uilicious when our focus was to move fast and iterate the product quickly. We wanted to roll out the CLI ASAP, so that users with a CI/CD can hook up their tests to their front-end deployment pipeline.

However after 2 years, with NPM dependency hell pains - We decided to migrate our CLI toolchain to Go for

• Zero deployment dependencies
• Single file distribution (and backwards compatible with NPM)

Happy with how it is : article covers the decision in much deeper details
