Similar for Go for me. I personally like Go and will go out of my way to use tools written in it because I understand the tooling and the language well enough that building from source is painless.

Agree wholeheartedly. Just yesterday I saw what looked like a very useful tool whose install instructions were "npm install -g <thing>" and I felt a little pang of "ugh" but went ahead and did it anyway. Never got the thing running but did get a nice error message that said "Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again." I actually said out loud, "why the hell does this tool use electron?!" and gave up.
