Actually, I'd say this is where Go has a real advantage. Are any other mainstream languages both garbage-collected (for ease of development) and native-compiled (for ease of distribution)?
Yeah. Only ObjC and Swift, which nobody wants. But JS distribution is arguably easier than building for every platform. Google did that with Gemini CLI.
Also if you're ok being dirty, short-lived processes can just leak. Some of those Go CLIs are probably not even GCing before the program exits.
