I think one of the advantages of a script is that you can quickly check what it is doing by simply opening it - an executable won't afford that.

  Plus it can be run on any machine, while golang needs to be compiled for the specific architecture you'll be running it on. No messing about trying to get the right build.

    I actually think its a less of a problem than many imagine. If you have different architectures it actually is better and more predictable because it's compiled, also it's incredibly easy to compile even for noobs

    Go is child's play to build (and cross-compile). Simpler than having to worry about Python versions, let alone dependencies.
