> Go for systems and backend Certain sorts of systems and certain sorts of backends maybe. There is a reason people prefer dynamic languages for web based backends for example - the amount of text mangling and arbitrary data structure manipulation becomes a serious headache in a compiled language, be it Go, C/C++ or what-have-you. I work on a large system written entirely in Python -we've considered introducing Go to speed up certain processes, but Python will remain the foundation for the foreseeable future.

Consider doing what Dropbox does, use PyPy for those few processes that need more CPU performance. They run 2.7 for most things and PyPy where they need to.
