Concur with the 'thought process.' I'm a happier person after a day of writing Python than I am after a day of writing Go. Environments take a long time to mature. Python finally has module packaging down fairly well (Go still drives me crazy even with the latest vending approach--cannot wait for a major build to break because the module creator switched hosting services). Python is pretty pleasant to debug. The ability to set breakpoints and then poke around and/or modify values saves me hundreds of hours a year. Building executables can still be a bit problematic (one reason we used Go for a few projects -- they really have this down). However, latest pyInstaller has been working smoothly on Windows and Linux. Python is quick enough -- and we know how to scale websites with WSGI and stand-alone apps with asyncio (or Twisted). Rarely does the need for that last ounce of speed outweigh the ability to quickly create and modify apps. Elixir, of all the new languages, intrigues me the most; not just for the language but being built on top of Erlang's OTP platform. They also seem to be doing a decent job on the packaging and distribution front.
