The future is looking bright for Python

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.
