GoAccess is an awesome tool! If I recall correctly, it was developed as an alternative (Go port) of a popular log analyzer called lnav (https://lnav.org), which is quite popular too: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=lnav.org
Hmm, I think you might be mixing things up, goaccess is written in C and probably not written as an alternative to lnav.
