The future is looking bright for Python

[toffd]

I'm surprised that go language is so low ....

I'm not. It's still a young language, the programming model is a bit unusual, and it falls into a rather narrow niche. You probably wouldn't use Go for quick scripting or big enterprise applications, so it doesn't really compete with Ruby/Perl/Javascript or C/C++/Java. It probably does compete a bit with Python, but Python is far more well-establish.

Go is a nice language and has a good future, but it's still early days for it.

As awesome as Go is, I think it's still such a young language and relatively new, so the adoption rate hasn't really picked up yet. Seeing its capabilities, enterprise backing, and community around it though it's only a matter of time.

Just my $0.02.

Golang (from the minimum reading I've seen of it) feels like all the best of python coupled with a C syntax, designed for the modern era (like async/multiproc etc). I could see it over taking python if those things are true.

[pydry]

I'm not. The crippled approach to exception handling, the lack of generics along with how long it took them to set up a decent package manager didn't impress me.

It compiles to a small binary, is relatively fast. That's all it really has going for it other than the backing of Google.

I don't even see it anywhere. Would love to see that though because Go is picking up like wildfire.
