Go has excellent support for cross-platform compilation. You could even set up a repo with CI to build the tools you want (since I presume you don't trust binaries) for many platforms. You could build it within a Docker container locally if cloud is not your taste. I don't think that being able to build your editor is required on any platform. And a C toolchain might be "everywhere", but it's not on a default Alpine linux, the foundation for many containers. Maybe the future distros will look more like Project Atomic, Rancher, etc. anyway.
