The excitement and libraries around Go remind me of Python around 2009.

  So, like that totally irrelevant time for Python when nothing special was going on? (Edit: not that Python was itself irrelevant, but 2009 was an irrelevant time for Python, when nothing special news/projects/etc wise for Python. I've been using the language since 1998, and the most "hyped" period was in the early 00s. Mid 00's Ruby/Rails caught on).

    This was around when Numpy and Scipy were taking off. Pandas, scikit learn, theano, started development soon after.

      That was more of a slow adoption and consolidation that some dramatic spike. Numpy (renamed as such around 2006) has been around for like 20 years, and has been quite popular in the noughties too for those doing numeric stuff in Python.
