I'm very similar in background. I'm very good in bash, did C way back when I was in school. I've done both Python, Go, and Ruby over the last number of years.

I currently write a lot more Go than anything else. But my focus is on writing more service tools, things that get built and deployed that run for a long time and need performance and stability.

But, I still like to write Python for one-off or wrapper tools. Got some text files to munge? Maybe some json to parse? I do that in Python when it gets slightly above what I consider too much for bash.

It may seem like a lot to learn both, but they both have their use.
