As someone that's not a developer I like Go because I'm able to start fast and get binaries for any major platform without having to install external dependencies. I code and test on a Windows box and I deploy to Linux without any changes. You could say the same about Python, but not really. With Python I have to maintain the Python environment anywhere I want to run my software. With Go I only have to maintain it where I compile the code, so the final machine where it's deployed could even not have Go installed and still run my Go silly tools.
