Yeah, I think so. ;)

It's not because I'm into Go, but I really believe that it would be perfect
match for AsciiDoctor, mostly beacuse of super-easy deployment which is, imho,
more user-friendly for not so tech-savvy users.

Personally, I'm running Debian Sid, but still do not like when/if I've to
fiddle with manually installing  (Ruby) gems if the stuff is not available for
my distro.

In a similar vein I also like Fossil DVCS being single binary - super easy
deployment although I'm aware that most of the stuff is happening @Github.

Otoh, before Asciidoctor, AsciiDoc was not conquering as today's tornado. :-)

Thank you for encouragement!
