I'd love to know why they decided to move in the first place?
To leave Python means there were some kind of problems with it?
How are those problems being addressed now?
...or was this always a political/personal preference thing?

Go isn't a silver bullet, it's a trade off,like everything else. Speed is nice. Go is fast. But when you're codebase becomes full of "if err!=nil {" , it starts getting ugly. Go has showed there is a place for a safe C in Python's clothes. Go just doesn't fulfill that idea though, the language is too rigid to be enjoyable for a lot of people.
