This seems handy, but often the tools run by `go generate` are outside of the Go ecosystem, or need to be binaries.

So I think a general solution would work better, and not be limited to Go. There are plenty of tools in this space to choose from: mise, devenv, Nix, Hermit, etc.

Mise is right on the edge of being pretty killer. I’m bullish on it. It also includes a lot of nice to haves that you can declare, like k9s, which isn’t exactly a dev tool but becomes expected
better motivation for rewrite it in go...

but are there really that many tools you need in a go project not written in go?
