Transitioning from Python to Go isn't as easy as you make it out to be. Good luck finding solid alternatives to the likes of Numpy, scikit-learn, Pandas, SQLAlchemy, BeautifulSoup, Flask etc. Oh, and not to mention the community surrounding these and other popular Python libraries.

- tyfon 10y agoAll of them work in python 3.x too. Well. I'm not sure about flask, it's not one i use personally.
- ram_rar 10y agoNumpy / scipy and scikit-learn are the only things that are holding me back. Apart from that, I think its just a matter of time golang will have similar libraries in its ecosystem. Afaik, for regular CRUD apps golang can pretty much replace whole of python with better performance (in terms of concurrency).
- kevml 10y agoThose toolkits often rely on generics/duck typing, and tend towards very simple REPL style exploration.
- dekhn 10y agoAgreed, my main reason for not switching to Go fulltime is numpy and scipy. I was recently pointed at https://github.com/gonum https://github.com/gonum which has a subset of the functionality of numpy and scipy.
