Hi,
I’ve done some scripting in the past using bash/perl. Very little bit of python.
Why I’m interested in go is, from what I understand as of now, I can write a script/code in golang, create a binary and simply upload the binary to a server, no need to install the compiler / interpreter on the server. Is my understanding correct?
Would this hold true if I install external modules (as in those not part of the core)? For example, most of my work is logging into servers/devices mostly through ssh and capture outputs, or scp/sftp files etc.
I also need to write out data to excel sheets, create graphs etc and email it out. Can I do that using golang?
If I can do all the above, is there any good tutorial or book I can try to sort of “test the waters” with Go? Please let me know
