So I don't know how to fly a commercial airliner, but I could probably figure my way around a small single prop airplane. That's basically the difference between Go and a language like Rust or C++ or any language that requires a lot of up front investment, but then let's you work at power level 9000.

So yeah, Go will get you there. It will take you a lot longer to get there when you aren't going 600MPH, and you can carry a lot less people, but at least you aren't driving a car like the people using Python. Sure it's probably not going to be as rigorously inspected as the Boeing borrow checker, but Go is at least getting an inspection, whereas your Python code is just going to break down on the side of the road when the problems surface itself because you didn't check the oil light.

To me, Go is a better Python. It's easier to learn, faster, more scalable, and safer, and just as easy and quick to write. It's just not a language for big projects.
