Good luck with that. I haven't been successful at convincing anyone to move away from it. I'm so fucking sick of writing Python at work lol

What would you prefer to use?

Just about anything, as long as it's statically typed.

The domain I work in is basically perfect for Go, so I've been pushing for that.

Why?

Because I hate dynamically typed languages for anything besides scripting and glue code.

Or are you asking why I haven't had success? Mostly because the people I work with are dead set that Python is perfect for everything. I had one guy argue it should be used for embedded work
