Fun fact: There are formers devs among Ops, and sometimes vica versa.

Go binaries are statically compiled usually, no VM or managed. It's a simple language for simple solutions, which is often underrated.

Not that versed in Python, but there is CPython.

Bash is totally ok in the hands of someone who uses it for good ;) Agree it has too quirky syntax when you need complexity, so not good for large stuff.

Footguns are everywhere. You usually trade one in for another.



Go binaries still include the Go runtime which handles GCing etc., much like Python.

They're not VMs, but it's really a semantic difference, if you're comparing it to Java, especially now that GraalVM native compilation is gaining popularity.


Sure. Runtime is maybe a better word, though gc and such is not "free".
