One of the things I like about mitmproxy is how easy it is to develop and use addons. You just pass a script file to it. How would you achieve such painless extensibility if it were written in Go?

Exactly this.

It's very hard to do with Go; also see Hugo, where Go is in many ways "holding it back" compared to something like Jekyll, which you can customize and hack with great ease.

I love Go, but this kind of things is not where it shines.
