I have no advice to offer but for myself I wrote a project of few hundred LOC and it like a manageable version of Bash/Python/Perl etc. One benefit I see is it can be used on windows. mac, linux machines without any special setup , once I generate binary for specific platform. Since it is structured code, I keep adding more features without much breakage. I know people can do it so many other languages and ways. My point was that Go can be used for variety of person or single developer projects. It is more tuned towards making new/interesting things in boring language vs learning interesting language to reimplement existing things.
