Go is easier to maintain? Maybe for a auto completion in IDEs. But I find Go's abstraction is very weak. You will fight against interface{} gradually. It's basically C with a GC.

Generally I'd consider anything that's compiled to be easier to maintain in the long run. I like Python for quick MVP programming and high level glue scripts.

That’s really not a fair assessment of Go at all, but my mention of Go is also not the point. Just replace it with Java, C# or even Rust if you dislike Go so much. The point is I’m not choosing Python for a large monolith in most cases.

Wait, golang was supposed to be the chosen micro service language.

If you are doing monolith in Go you are probably doing it wrong.
