As a teacher, I have a program I've been using for the last 8 years or so. I distribute the compiled version to students for them to compare their own results with what's expected. The program's written in go. I update it every other year or so. So I'm exactly in the case you describe.
I never had any issue. The program still compiles perfectly, cross-compiles to windows, linux and macos, no dependency issue, no breaking change in the language, nothing. For those use-cases, go is a godsend.
