(Didn't read the article at all)

As someone who has done devops-y stuff with both, I highly prefer Go just because I can plop in one binary + config file and it'll just work.

With Python I need to install Python, the virtual env manager du jour and all the required packages. And I need to keep them up to date. And everything is just one step harder if I don't, for some reason, have root privileges on the environment in question.

The Go version has been running for days in the time the Python one has all it's dependencies in order =)
