Thanks @Jason, but the point was exactly not need to do anything extra: no
manual unzipping of a file, or manual Makefile/Magefile.
Let's say project in Go links some 30 external modules, 5 of them have
their own specific steps that need to be read, understood and and run to
install them ... very quickly the user just gives up from
installing/compiling the thing, with good reason ...
The Go toolset solves that beautifully for Go only projects. But at least
in my line of work, that's not feasible, I need to interface with libraries
that in turn require other libraries in C++ (OpenXLA/llvm for JIT), Rust
(HuggingFace Tokenizer), C (Gtk), etc.
cheers
