I am not a fan of go but I find myself using it for this reason. Doing it with rust - especially cross compiling from mac to linux - is relatively painful, while with Go it is trivial and built into the go tool. It makes it so, so easy to remove any friction from finishing and deploying a side project.

I have used cargo-dist and the process is quite smooth, it could be worth giving it a try.
