I've been using this guide for writing a CLI tool for my company. Kudos to the authors for the amazing insights.
- FWIW a good library will do a lot of this for you - e.g. clap for Rust.
  
  Yes. I'm using Python Click FYI.
  
  I mean I've been writing a CLI tool, not a CLI engine.
If it supports -? or --help, we can figure out the rest from the copious & accessible documentation that it will give us then.
- Such refreshing optimism!
  
  In other optimism, if I can apt-get install it, it has a manpage written by someone who's at least as entertaining a writer as Larry Wall.
This looks like a fantastic resource, thank you for sharing it! Saved.
This is awesome, I was looking for something like this very recently!
