If the place you worked at was backwards enough you may not be able to install a Go compiler on your desktop. Anything is possible when the people making the rules are disconnected enough from the people getting the work done.
If it is Java or C# and already in-use, it is pretty simple. If I wanted to install a Go compiler, it could get complicated. Not having Admin rights really slows down an organization. Especially if you're someone who likes to use multiple technologies (right tool for the right job). IT hates that. Note that I don't write production tools, just things to get my job done quicker (automation scripts, data analysis...etc).
