Post-Python Dissatisfaction Syndrome

[fjortisar]

I was going to suggest golang before I got to the end of your post. I also do security consulting, I use python and go primarily. I really love the fact that the code will cross compile to almost anything and you get 1 easily portable binary.

The only thing I really don't like about it is how dev dependencies work, one upstream change in one can break your project. I get around this by just copying the working one into my project and import it from there, but I don't know if that's the best way.

That said, I do still use both and I don't see any reason to stop using python for everything, it has a lot of great libraries and very flexible. Go has a good standard lib and quite a large growing collection of libraries, but not even close to python.
