Well, Golang has been used in contrib/ before. ;-) If I understand [1] and [2] correctly, we haven't found an existing standalone tool that is able to efficiently validate a high volume of traces. But for the purpose of sanity-checking that running a few typical commands generates a trace that fits the schema, it's not important that the validator be super fast. So we can use a tool like jq, picking one using the criteria that it - allows performing the validation without too much fuss - is likely to already be present on some developers' machines Thanks, Jonathan [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20190726220348.GF43313@xxxxxxxxxx/ [2] https://public-inbox.org/git/cover.1564009259.git.steadmon@xxxxxxxxxx/
