I had a look at this library today.
Quote the author: "The script library is implemented entirely in Go, and does not require any external userland programs." Sorry but that's not scripting anymore. We all like using userland programs! it is The Way.
Most programs tell you why they failed on stderr. Seems like stderr is lost when a pipe component fails. Strangely stderr and stdout are conflated in the pipe structure - there is no way to get stderr!
You just get the numeric exit status.
IO redirection appears to be missing.
Difficult to use in production.

Orca is great fun. I was inspired to start write a derivative application - A live-coding logic simulator using the same TUI ideas. I've just got past the prototype-hackery stage and am using it to model a real piece of hardware.

No worries mate. Your point is basically 'What a fuss over a very simple bit of code.'? I'm as surprised as you are.

did you try the '-format json' option?

I love your enthusiasm, and thanks for the code. But 1) the above only works with sorted input and 2) adding it to find that would be like adding '-v' to 'cat' which as we know is considered harmful. http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/

Um you can get actual trees with graphviz, or my favourite, YeD. I will add an example of that. https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni/issues/7

I did not know that. But then it's BSD, right? http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/.
