Go is way easier to learn than Python for real applications. Python might be easier for your first few times playing with a programming language, but the complexity ramps up fast. There are a lot of features in python - classes, decorators, all the __foo__ stuff... I think it's a lot easier to understand all of Go than all of Python. I can't comment on R or Julia, since I haven't used them, but I would doubt they're simpler than Go.
