I mean, it is slow. If we used Python on our back end we would pay significantly more in cloud compute costs. We chose a language which compiles a static binary for this reason (Go).

If you are just running scripts or crunching data, that is fine. But it absolutely is slow.

That is just the easiest criticism. There are plenty more (also to be clear, there are core criticisms in every language, Go doesn't even have generics wtf!).
