It's such a great language, and so incredibly slow :-/

  Probably a kind of premature optimization on my part, but this is why I chose Golang over Python as my primary language. Maybe one day Python will have its own compiler without having to drop into writing C, who knows? For know I think the features of Go are just more attractive than those of Python.

    Python has a compiler without dropping into C (cython).. but it's mostly used these days for glue code between c and Python, or for small bits of code that need extra optimization. There is also Rpython and pypy

      While true, their adoption suffers due to them not being the way that 90% of the community deals with Python.

      I do most of my programming in Cython these days, mainly maths/graphics-related, but all kinds of stuff. It's great for that! I do the intensive calculation parts with typed C variables, structs, arrays, at C speeds, while doing the once-only stuff like loading and saving images in pure Python. I guess it's weird floating between C and Python from line to line in a program, but I like it a lot. (Not having to type semicolons and curly braces anywhere is no small benefit also.)
