I see a lot of Python developers switching to Go, and it's hard to deny that Python 3's adoption has been... underwhelming. I think the future of programming languages clearly belongs to statically typed languages, and Python will not be part of this future unless it evolves in that direction.

I was very, very critical of Python programmers switching to Go for a while. I recently got fed up with python and have been doing C, Go and Lua instead. I've started to rediscover programming and I'm enjoying myself much more. Go is very addicting. It all started when I tried to get one of my projects that requires a lot of concurrent IO working in both Python 2.7 and 3.x. Gevent, of course only works in Python 2, so I tried to switch to the asyncio family. This was a disaster. I'm sad to see it go, but I've decided to mostly drop Python. I'll probably still use it for Flask apps (I seriously love Flask). But anything that requires heavy lifting will probably be done in Go or C.
