The big advantage of a language like JavaScript of Python for a CLI tool of this nature is that they naturally support adding extensions or plugins.
That's quite a bit harder if your tool is built using a compiled language like Go.

Ehhhh. In either case you have to define a neat clean plugin API. Whether it loads a DLL/SO or just some scripts isn’t that huge of a difference.
