On: GitHub CLI is now in beta

[coolreader18]

Hub[1], the previous Github CLI, was written in Go too, so I don't think this is much of a surprise.

Hub was originally a collection of Ruby scripts for ±3 years [1]. They later refactored the code to use Go:

• Initial commit on Dec 5, 2009 was 100% Ruby code [2]

• @jingweno started a refactoring using Go on Apr 8, 2013 [3][4]

• The Go rewrite was merged to master on May 23, 2013 [5]
