What makes you choose Go over Python for simple services and utility scripts? (I'm just learning Go but would heavily lean towards Python for those things)

- jcadam 10y agoOff the top of my head: - Ease of deployment. It's a standalone binary - I don't have to ensure python and all needed libraries are installed/configured. - I like Go's standard library - it usually has everything I need to whip up a basic network service easily. - Better/easier concurrency support. - It's faster than Python (though that's usually not incredibly important most of the time).
