I work somewhere with plenty smart engineers, and plenty of in-house golang expertise. I've seen several small internal tools rewritten from Python to Go, and contributions by the wider team totally dropped off. It used to be absolutely trivial for anyone to make changes, and the "deployment" of such scripts was basically "get the code reviewed and merge it."
