Well, if performance is the objective, then I can't suggest Python, because that isn't the goal. You can still have a performant application implemented in Python, I for example had it encode video stream on the fly, but this of course is done through extensibility via C extensions and the core work wasn't really done in Python itself. Sometimes with the right approach (mapping PostgreSQL calls 1:1) and right tooling (uvloop, Cython) you can write code in Python and still squeeze better performance than in Go[1], but you need to know what you're doing. If you want to explore types, these resources[2][3] were useful for me.
