It's a little strange that I had to open the tutorial to find out what language this is for.

I was going to guess Rust, but turns out it's Go.
Personally, I like Rust's a bit better:

edit: because it's type safe!

Wouldn't `gocli` be a better name then?
The solution here is clearly to write a new language named "do".
Does having a programming language name in a program name make the program better? I don't get it, sorry.
It certainly makes it a lot easier to understand what it's for...
I think it's a portmanteau of "doc" and "cli" - because it's a CLI options parser that is generated from documentation.
Hey, I'm really sorry about that! I'm still working on the details, but thank you for the feedback.
