I have ruby installed on those servers right now. Not so much go. I'm not saying go would be impossible, just that it would be harder.

Ok? I bet you can figure this out and I bet it's just as easy as Ruby. http://golang.org/doc/install

Given that getting Ruby installed on those servers involves doing literally nothing, no, it isn't as easy.

You're basically arguing a technicality at this point. How important is it that it takes N time to do X and N+epsilon time to do Y? And how much should this affect one's decision for choosing which programming language to use?
