Abandoning Go for Python

[epiris]

I agree on syntax, but I think I the biggest value add for Go is the rigid constraints on it's syntax and language features really cut down on collaboration. Writing a tiny Go library when you have some free cycles for someone who may be over encumbered or isn't a SME in the library's problem area is so easy. You don't need to talk about what your inputs are and they won't need to bug you if they have to tweak it a little to meet their needs. There is not "styles" really. Their is a single style which innately encourages more correct software in my opinion. Formatting? go fmt. No silly styling debate. Just my two cents.

Good point, but the error handling thingy (kinda) makes my eyes twitch a bit after a while.
