> self-contained executables This really is the only practical area where Go is superior to Python. No messing with 3rd-party libs, no compromises, no hacks... Everything else is not really critical for most people, and largely not worth losing all the nicer features of Python for; if they could just fix it once and for all in stdlib, just blessing one compilation format and making it well-supported on all the big platforms, it would be a big step forward for the ecosystem. Easier said that done, of course.
