Shell alias to get latest go versions?

[Steve Mynott]

Does anyone have a simple shell alias, function or similar to get the
latest released versions of go?

Is there a cleaner way of going this than screen scraping the website
or looking at tags in git?

I think you're after something like (for your OS/arch):

wget https://dl.google.com/go/$(curl -s
https://golang.org/dl/?mode=json | jq -r
.[0].version).linux-amd64.tar.gz

The JSON mode of the download page being the key here.
