I feel like this is true for any language though.

Once you write a well designed, well tested, and feature complete piece of software, you can deploy it and forget about it unless the server it's running on breaks.

Go isn't special in that regard, unless there's something that makes Go easier to write, test, or deploy, which might be the case, but you haven't supported that.

Our team was able to develop/deploy about 20 Microservices in Go in the past year or so which is really awesome. I can say this after having worked with several other languages.

[abiox]

how much of this would you attribute to the stdlib and popular libraries, vs the language itself?

[rjammala]

Strong stdlib definitely helps but the language itself is so refreshingly simple and very efficient.

[plexicle]

Any language that compiles to a static binary, sure.

[joshuamorton]

Even if not. Depending on your paranoia, lockfiles or containers or bazel solve that problem.
