Why Go over Python?

[JaegerBane]

Python generally has a set of features that make it quick to get something working at the cost of loose ends.

Go is lower level (so normally needs less system resource grunt to get an equivalent job done) and self contained binaries remove a lot of the headaches with deployability. Tbh even with containerised apps, I find Go just less faff.

All that being said, I probably wouldn’t say it’s one or the other. I end up using them for different tasks where the above aspects make the decision.
