Python vs GoLang is a whole thing, but being unable to compile a go binary is a skill issue on your end, my friend. It's not a problem for this software unless you want to edit the code and don't know GoLang, except that's also a skill issue.

The fact that this tool is unnecessary due to other tools existing is a fair point though.

It's not a skill issue. I write, build, debug, and deploy golang regularly as appropriate. It's my language of choice at times.

How about editing the code live in a production environment currently lacking a debugger, internet, or compiler when it doesn't behave 100% according to expectations? Even if you have the debugger and compiler available and are comfortable using them, it's a world of difference in convenience.

I never said that and do not believe that. Many options for the same thing can be great, let a thousand update helpers bloom I say. I guess we disagree on everything today :p
