Go vs. Python

[bmazurie]

Hello,

Thank you very much for your work on modelica-builder and modelica-fmt, both are very useful!

However, I have a question about modelica-fmt. It's written in the Go language, whereas modelica-builder uses the Python parser.

What is the reason for this choice? Perhaps it's a historical choice or a question of performance? Having it in Python would be more practical for sharing the tool with the community!

Thank you again

I don't recall the specific reasons why we did this - I suspect we chose go primarily for performance and convenient cross-platform binary distribution.

Feel free to make your own and test it out! I bet an llm could do a pretty good job at translating it to python :)
