Pythons asyncio is pretty hard to beat. For non-cpu intensive tasks, I find it a pleasure to work with. Goroutines can still have race conditions.

Sure, I get that go can cross-compile. But what makes python hard? Python works on every platform, and distributing is just a "pip install" and "pip install -u" Surely thats easier than "Download the correct binary for the platform, unzip it, change permissions, add it to your path, then do it all over again for every update"

I was the original author of the awseb cli and we found that pip install was significantly less of a hurdle than a go binary and decided to do it in Python instead. If a user on windows has a hard time installing python and pip, telling them to drop a binary and change their path isnt going to be any easier.
