I've written a few unix-style programs in Go:

http://code.google.com/p/mango-doc/
http://code.google.com/p/simple-shell-utils/

(neither are exactly examples of my best-foot-forward coding, both
need to be cleaned up and could be made clearer by utilizing more of
the Go standard library)

It's in many ways the perfect language for this sort of thing. It's
almost like its creators had some sort of expertise in this area :)
