> I don't think its worthwhile to compare Go to dynamic languages.
I do think we should be making this comparison, because there's a trend in devops of moving from Python and Ruby (each of which have system-provided dependencies) to Go (which statically links a copy of everything).
I see this as unfortunate because devops should be promoting taking full advantage of the system's well-understood and -tested libraries and services rather than avoiding them with approaches like container isolation. If you have a reason to avoid your distro's python, fix that.
