Go is fundamentally flawed as a systems language and should never have been used as one.
The problem may be large binary size (mostly due to the runtime size and static linking). But I don't see why using a garbage collector is a problem for plain UNIX utilities like ls-replacements.
In fact, if you are running a Debian or Ubuntu system, a lot of utilities are written in Perl or Python.
