> The only way that it affects you it's because Go programs can be compiled to a static binary. So from the final user perspective you just download it and put the executable in your path.

This should apply to EVERY PROGRAM for a final user. It can be written in C, Go, Rust, PHP, compiled Ruby. Final user doesn't care what language it's written in, it shouldn't crash, should be intuitive and fast, and this can be achieved with any programming language, unless it's written in JS in Node and wrapped with Chrome, then will be lagging. Completely invalid argument for me.
