Not the original commenter, but Go programs are all statically-compiled, with everything needed at run time bundled into the executable. Go does use a runtime, but that's incorporated into the exe, so no external libraries required. As such, you can get a program written in Go running on a new machine just by downloading it :)

For machines where you may actually have a Go installation already, the majority of programs now can also be installed from source via Go's built-in package manager, which installs it to your home directory. A lot of dev utils, like go-imports, the language server, etc. are typically installed this way. It's usually just a single command (though the exact command can vary between projects, but is usually signposted fairly clearly).
