Noob Question about Go Modules - Do we need them on all the servers we run the executable on?

Technical Discussion

Hi,
I am someone new to Go.
When I write a Perl or Python script and it has some modules, I need to ensure that the same Perl/Python version and the modules are installed on all the servers on which I am running the scripts.
Does this hold true for Go? I guess not, but just wanted to confirm.

Compiled executables are selfcontained. So after compilation all you need to deploy is the executable.

Hi NobbZ,
Thanks for replying. One of the reasons why I am interested in learning Go is this single binary executable. But, just wanted to confirm it. Sorry for asking such a noob question.

Never apologize for asking questions like this. This is how we learn.
