most of go’s success in the infrastructure space i am pretty sure comes down to “can make self contained binary”

I think its true. If only python/js or any other dynamic language would have easy path towards single binary, for most "devops" tools performance is secondary (they are usually dealing with some light data processing and curl)

for that your only sane choices nowadays are rust and go. When the snowball really started with hashicorp style tools, it was just go
