I've actually been very surprised at the near-ubiquity of Go in the modern infrastructure/tools space though. Seems like each new OSS product I evaluate is written in Go. See companies like Cloudflare, Hashicorp, InfluxData, CoreOS, and, obviously, big projects like Kubernetes.
I can't actually think of a single other language that matches that. Rust might get there one day but cross-compiling still requires a C cross-compiler (ugh) and C dependencies (e.g. OpenSSL) are often dynamically linked.
Most wrappers should at least provide an option to statically link the C; I know the OpenSSL ones do.
And yeah most wrappers provide a static linking option but there's not much consistency which is rather annoying.
