> I understand there's obvious use cases for Go, but an amazing amount of what we do is taking data from place 'A' (web, socket, file), sending it to place 'B' (another web, socket, file), and then returning a result. Go doesn't buy you much that asyncio won't. Static typing. Oh Lord is it nice. When I wrote Python, I never quite knew if there'd be a runtime error (in my code or a library). With Go, there are a lot fewer of those.
