I think the question assumed that you can run go in a script-language mode. Because you do want the source of shell-scripts on the local machine.

So it is easy to make changes by system admins/non-developers. Scripting is for glue functionality after all…

You can also use env-vars and flags in Go.

Which many would argue leads to more robust "admin glue functionality", because the admin controls how much non-admins can mess around with instead of allowing them to mess around with the core shell-script functionality.
