&gt; The world of deployments e.g. build scripts, containers, extravagant tools are all unnecessary with Go.<p>I&#x27;m not arguing that Go makes deployment easier but it doesn&#x27;t make all these things unnecessary ,as a server is only one component of an app among many others.<p>I&#x27;d like to see more languages supporting some sort of web-app packaging though( I know I can do something like this with python , i.e. bundle everything in a single executable). I think it is an elegant solution.
