I spent a weekend going through all my old python scripts with Gemini and ChatGPT, rewriting them to Go just because of this.
Most of them were so old that I would have had to skip like 3 generations of package managers to get to the one that's used this year (dunno about next year) if I wanted to upgrade or add dependencies.
With Go I can just develop on my own computer, (cross)compile and scp to the destination and it'll keep working.
