I will say that Go makes the default path pretty painless. If you can conform to the directory structure, you can build a binary for any platform from any platform with a single command--no metadata files or build scripts. From there, deployment is a matter of moving a single binary. No interpreter, no VM, no runtime dependencies. It's opinionated nature can be annoying, but it means a lot of choices are made for you. I'm not familiar with another language that offers such a fast path.
