> So for smaller not-performance-critical programs, why not Python, Typescript etc? I can compile my go application down to a single, static binary that can run in a distroless container. The packaging/deployment simplicity of Golang appeals to me much more than Python, TypeScript, etc. Also the developer tooling is first class and sustained backwards compatibility is top-notch. I can pretty much always upgrade the version of Go 1.x I target and have 0 worries in the world. Meanwhile in Python and JS land, the dependency management problems are a nightmare.
