I work somewhere with plenty smart engineers, and plenty of in-house golang expertise. I've seen several small internal tools rewritten from Python to Go, and contributions by the wider team totally dropped off. It used to be absolutely trivial for anyone to make changes, and the "deployment" of such scripts was basically "get the code reviewed and merge it." Now there's a whole Bazel song and dance, compilation as part of the dev cycle, producing binaries for distribution, and it's introduced just enough friction that people no longer make the little tweaks that used to be dead simple. Say what you will about loosey-goosey dynamic languages, but they work superbly for things like CLI tools.
