That's if they're on the same architecture and operating system as you. Half the people I know are on mac, half of them are on arm. The other half are on windows and x86.
Actually, you can specify to build portable binaries for all 3 of these platforms. You can even make them totally static, so that deployment is as easy as "copy the executable file with windows/Linux/Mac/etc in the name and run it".
This is part of my standard Go build.sh script. You just never know who might want to run a given thing where.
Now I'm having flashbacks to porting a whole stack of applications from x86 to a customized Linux distribution running on a big-endian PC platform. A mishmash of C/C++, Java, Node-JS, Python...
It was really dumb, but that's what the client needed. So much cross compiling.
