Ok. Hisss! I'll bite :)
How is Go better suited than Python for development of more "sophisticated" apps? And how do you define that? Where do you draw the line?
For me Go seems to suffer from many of the same shortcomings python has. And I say that liking Python.
- spudlyo 10y agoNot the parent, but perhaps apps that require a high degree of concurrency, or apps that need to eke out all the performance of the CPU cores? For me Go is more attractive than Python on the RasPi because there is no GIL limiting concurrency, the notion that compiled code performs significantly better, and that there are less installation dependency headaches to worry about.
- _ph_ 10y agoAs the Pi isn't as fast as a typical desktop machine, the performance gain of natively compiled code in Go probably matters a lot.
