Thx for stopping by! would be great if you could provide bit more details of what platforms are supported (eg does it run on any of the BSDs, Windows, more esoteric OSs?)

having a full-featured cross OS scripting, that also hides OS-specific and distro-specific differences, where possible -- would be very useful.

Since you had written in Go, perhaps long term those cross-OS capabilities, were part of your aspirations




Yeah, 100%. Being able to compile across platforms is one of the reasons Go was an absolute no-brainer:

Currently, there are binaries for a few different platforms:

Interestingly enough, the releases are built with an ABS script:
