I tried python in 2010 because looks easy, but Go came on stage, and changed backed tools.
Go is the way to better backend, CPU and memory optimized.
I read an article that Dropbox save thousands just by change from Python to Go.
It's difficult, especially handling shared variables in go routines, but it's worth it.
- Atlas22 4y agoI'm not sure go should be compared to python as they are designed for very different things. Go is more fairly compared against modern c++ or rust in my mind. Python is not designed to be lightweight or fast (although it has been consistently improving with each release) but favors expressability and run time flexibility instead.
