I'm not a Rustacian, but so far I much prefer Python's packaging to Go's. Italicize all you like. I don't find the emphasis convincing.

When I receive a Python program that I'd like to modify, I can. When I receive a Go program that I'd like to modify, I must beg for the source code.

Do you "vendor" your database into your Go program? If not, you likely still need Docker, or something like it, for your program to work.
