I’ve written a lot of Python and a lot of Go. The errors per loc are much lower in the latter because code density is much lower and because of the type checker. In other words, if you measured errors by statement or something more meaningful than “line” then it would account for the difference in density, but I would still expect far fewer errors in Go.
