Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?

I want to build a command line tool with context-sensitive completion. This is important because it allows interactive exploration of the options -- both of the application and of the current data model -- available to the user.

So far this is what I've found.

I would like to know people's experiences and recommendations in building such an app in go.
