Obligatory comment saying you can do the same in Rust

I can’t target msvc or aarch-64-apple-* and compile a binary on Linux, without resorting to significant amounts of rectal dentistry.

Can’t you just replace the “cargo” command with “cross”

    cross build —-target=…

Cross-building for Apple is possible, but it's far from smooth with many steps that you have to figure out by yourself unfortunately.

I use this which seems to work well for my projects. Particularly their docker image.

I've built .exes for Windows just fine on Linux. I don't know about Apple stuff, though, I don't think there's any built-in Linux tooling to submit an executable for Apple's signature scheme.

You can in fact also do it in C

It's not quite as seamless as in Go to be fair. But it does mean you can write Rust instead of Go.

And .NET
