Another ASCII art weather (forecast) utility, but in Go: https://github.com/schachmat/wego
That's not the weather, that's the temperature. But I like the effort put into making interesting little tools!
Btw, Thanks for your kind words!

Perhaps I'm a bash noob, but when I try to paste that in my shell, it complains about a syntax error near `{curl`. Am I doing something wrong?
function weather() { curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=$1&units=metric" | jq .main.temp | figlet -kcf big ;}Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because he's sharing the source code rather than a compiled binary. It's no different to having make + gcc listed as a dependency for C++ code.
Strictly there is a little hindrance for the non-gopher user because this won't work until they set up a Go workspace, i.e. decided where they want GOPATH to be, set that, and added $GOPATH/bin to PATH to have the executable be runnable. $ env -i $(which go) get github.com/schachmat/wego package github.com/schachmat/wego: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath
I'd love it if this had been packaged in a way similar to Python or Node tools, where installation is as simple as 'install Python and pip; pip install my-program', and more-experienced users (or those who want source) can clone the git repo.

I'm going to be honest... This is an ugly looking pig of a command line tool. The giant ascii art looks bad and does nothing for its usefulness or usability.
I'm sorry if this comes across as negative, but this is an example of using the wrong tool for the job, IMO. I love Erlang and Elixir because BEAM gives me easy concurrency, metaprogramming and best of all, fault tolerance via supervisors. For a service that I need to stay alive, this is great. For a simple command line utility, I'd lean more toward a compiled language like Go, Haskell, Common Lisp, etc.

I am sorry for that. It was a hobby project of mine when learning Elixir and I got excited about it.
