These languages face the same challenges as python do once you look beyond compiling pure-<language> to executables. This common misconception is beyond frustra

  I haven't used Dart, but I have 15 years of experience with Python and 10 years with Go. Go absolutely solves many of Python's problems including performance, single-native-binary compilation, dependency management, a lackluster-at-best static typing system, and many others. If you're an experienced Python developer, then you're used to announcements that promise a lot and utterly fail to deliver (consider all of the different package management "solutions", alternative runtimes, etc), but Go really does what it says on the tin.

  Could you provide an example of what you mean? It seems obvious that using a non-Go library with Go would be more complicated, but is that not also the case with C or C++? Do they have some special way of using a Go or Python library that Go does not reciprocate?

    That's exactly the point. The common misconception that I am frustrated by, is that people compare their experience working on a pure-go project with pure-go dependencies to their experiences working on pure-python projects with non-python (e.g. c , or rust, or anything else really) dependencies. So to illustrate: if you were to work on a pure-python project with pure-python dependencies, existing tooling (such as pyinstaller, or nuitka, or others) can provide single binary executables, just as easily as you can in go.
