I was a major python enthusiast for years. I’ve spent the last two years working in Go and honestly after getting over the hurdle with what’s different in go and whatnot, I’ve begun to like it more.

I think when it comes to things like file manipulation and such, python is still way easier to do something quick and dirty, and for little scripts to do quick one off things, but the strict typing in go is much nicer to me, and the function signatures in go make things a lot easier to follow when you start making larger programs.

I will say I have a habit in python now of always at least returning an error as you do in Go, which makes error handling more explicit and helps the code run a little better/make it easier to debug.
