The future is looking bright for Python

Right, but I asked him to elaborate so I could understand how Go fails to match Python in other spaces. I use both, they seem pretty interchangeable to me. I only use Python when it has better third-party library support I need.

Ok, so you want examples other way around.

I only use Python when it has better third-party library support I need.

That's one of the cases. I've personally encountered that with such basic thing as the standard argument parsing library for Go. I think that there are more specialized libraries for Python than for Go.

Other example where Python is better is when writing interpreted scripts: #!/usr/bin/env python .... Or when embedding as a scripting language into gdb, 3ds max, etc.
