Yes, I think re:size, I've typically worked in (based on lines of code) larger Python codebases than Go ones, however, I'd still consider the Go codebases large. In terms of legacy code, though, my metric is the following: When I haven't touched code in one year and need to go back to fix something, what language would I want that code to have been written in? I prefer that code to be in a system that's easy and obvious to reason about, i.e. with a type system.
