Merge the gilt and go-gilt projects

[0xDEC0DE]

Tools like ruff have shown that it is possible to have non-Python tools that leverage the Python ecosystem (installation via pip, automatic hash checking, etc.), and can even become wildly popular in doing so.

Gilt should attempt to take a page from that playbook, and as a side-effect, unify the schism between implementations.

I'd advocate for putting everything in the "other" repo and retiring this one, but Your House, Your Rules™.

Yeah, it's been done for Taskfile as well.

@0xDEC0DE it looks like ruff uses maturin which seems magical. Do you know if there is anything similar for golang? I don't think it's as easy as embedding various go binaries in the pip package, and go-task-bin looks to build the binary on install.

Agree... I should have just merged them originally, but at the time I didn't think I would deprecate the python version.

How on earth did I miss this comment?

No, I really don't know how it's done. But looking at the wheel package format, it appears that it's really is simply a matter of putting your built binaries in specifically-named directories, and they'll land in the venv where they need to. Getting the metadata, etc., right seems to be the REAL trick.

I've gone all-in on Hatch for Python packaging lately, but this kind of thing seems "challenging" to do with that toolchain. The pip-binary-factory seems to be able to get it done pretty effectively with PDM, you might be able to do what they do, but "in reverse", i.e., as a post-build action in your Taskfile.yaml.

Or not. I don't know. 😆

Maybe we could create a new issue for this specific ask? However, I could probably use your help with this.

That's what the original issue was about! 😆

Yeah, I had looked at the title yesterday and had forgotten about all the original request, sorry about that.
