I agree with you partially, but OTOH Go, I don't know exactly why, feels pragmatic and ready for production. Maybe its because of the creators, Google backing it, or the promise that 1.x remains compatible, or that it ships with a standard library good enough to write useful server stuff. So despite all those flaws (I miss generics the most), I think it will become the static Python replacement for the next 10 years. (Its like how Factor handled 3rd party contributions: one library for some particular task is blessed and shipped w/ Factor. Of course it doesn't scale..)
