I agree. When I am scripting, I want to have quick feed back loop. You can't really do that with Go because it doesn't have as good introspection and debugging capabilities as a scripting language like Ruby and doesn't have exceptions, which means that error handling is more verbose than necessary.

Also, I like being able to make modifications on the fly, so doing something in Ruby, I can just open the file make adjustments and I am done. With Go, I have to compile it and move it back into my path which is really tedious.
