> How do you find your developer productivity fares in Go? To take a simple example, I was experimenting with C++ and had the simple task of "reading in a CSV". Not sure if reading data from a csv formatted file is a great example for differentiating Python and Go: both languages have a builtin csv package/module. Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#examples https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#examples Golang: https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/csv/#example_Reader https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/csv/#example_Reader And, errors handling put aside, both takes more or less the same number of LOC.
