When I've been working in Go projects which required external helpers of some sort, I've always just written them as separate Go binaries because they're relatively simple and quick to get up and running.

I've started doing this for my Rust projects too because Rust is becoming a really nice language for writing these sorts of things, and having a separate binary as a Rust file in src/bin is convenient.

Often you want to use some logic from the main application in your tasks and using the same language streamlines that.
