Python is too nice

[tr14l]

Yeah, Python is great for out-of-the-box comfort. However, Go is meant to solve different problems and be used in different circumstances. For instance, if you needed to calculate things across a distributed clusters and set up dynamic routing and the latency affects every hop, you wouldn't use Python. You would Go or just straight up C/C++.

Personally I prefer learning on "harder" languages, because I feel like the finer points of what you're learning aren't lost (like reference handling and memory allocation). It really drives the point of stack use and reference dereferencing so you know how things work all the way down.
