Adapt the PDFtk PDF tool's call syntax with Go
Fast or Maintainable
Granted, parts of the Go program I looked at today would have been easier to write as shell scripts. For many routine tasks, a shell hack is practical and often fine for the job at hand.

This is where Go benefits from better maintainability, even if the initial overhead is considerably greater.
