Author of go-sct here. It&#x27;s totally true that it increased the LOC and is heavily based on C. There&#x27;s a number of limitations in cgo such as not being able to use macros which caused the LOC bump.<p>The primary reason I did this was I wanted to learn more about cgo since I haven&#x27;t used it in any useful way before.<p>This also allows it to be easily installed instead of having to download a .c file and compiling it.
