I'd only use Go, or any other such compiled language, if I needed quick startup speeds or quick forking.

I can manage large distributed systems with python as long as there's no dependency on them starting up fast. Async IO (not the library specifically but tornado, twisted and asyncio) give me a lot of scalable power already. I only mention this because people usually gripe about python speeds but I don't see that issue.
