To satisfy your curiosity, I have a long and public track record on Python, and switched to Go as the preferred language around mid-2010, for many reasons. These were both related to the properties of Go and to frustrations with Python itself. Initially that was a personal move, but several months later we also started to choose Go for projects where Python would have been the choice within Canonical as well.
