Both work. And both take away exactly what I like about the ecosystem: the <code>go build</code> that cross-compiles to three systems without a second thought, the reproducible build, the <code>go install</code> that works for anyone who cloned the repo. It&rsquo;s the first thing that goes the moment C enters the picture.</p>
