Go is a compiled language, but it is often used for scripting. Minnich uses it that way "all the time"; he stopped writing Bash scripts years ago in favor of Go. It is "easier and more reliable" to write scripts in Go. Interesting. Also, the NERF (basically negate most of UEFI, in particular the extensibility) firmware using Linux, has an initramfs containing all the user space stuff as uncompiled Go, and a compiler which compiles on the fly.
