In my experience, Go is really great for writing web backends and CLI tools. Go has replaced Python for me for those use cases and I know it has for others too.

In my experience, Go is really great for writing web backends and CLI tools. Go has replaced Python for me for those use cases and I know it has for others too. I think they've thoughtfully evolved the language (generics took several iterations before being accepted). The tooling especially (cross-compilation, golangci-lint, GoReleaser, the VS Code plugin) makes writing and distributing my little Go apps a blast. Much easier than Python/C++ (though I must say the recent pyproject.toml stuff is really helping me package Python when I need to).
