I tend to use go for "scripts" in non-go repos (typescript, C, etc) just for the simplicity of "you only need to install go" and pretty much all functionality is included in the standard library (usually something like JSON/XML/CSV parsing).

I'm OK with python for scripts, but go "just works".

Python can be annoying for scripts because they are often hard to run on another machine due to the dependency story.

I think Go scripts have a much better odd of “just working”with only the Go toolchain installed.
