Ultimately, I don't really care what I use! But python's woeful package management and distribution is actually a factor in my decision criteria for when and how I use it.
If I control the system end to end? Sure, I don't mind messing with python and building something I deploy. If not, I don't want to deal with it or the headaches that come with the gazillion ways the runtime can be installed/packaged. In this situation I've been defaulting to go even though I'm slightly less productive in it.
I just want a community accepted standard solution that gives me an easy way to offer a pip installable package with its dependencies, or a way to package the runtime easily (cross platform) and move it around with my code so I can forget altogether about what's lurking underneath all that.
