Go Static Analysis Tooling

Cloudflare has developed and open-sourced a suite of command-line tools (mmsum, mmwatch, mmhistogram) to aid in data analysis and visualization. These tools provide capabilities for generating ASCII histograms, monitoring real-time rate of change for command output, and summing lists of floating-point numbers. This expands the internal tooling available for engineers to quickly understand and process data from various sources, including network traffic and system metrics. This post details the creation of a tool to check for vendored dependencies in Go projects using static analysis.
