I actually had to make a decision on the same thing a couple of weeks ago.

Golang is probably the better programming language. The main reason for this is its statically typed, and the type system is dead simple.

If I want rock solid code in Python, I have to write tests and isinstance checks everywhere. You begin to feel like making your reinventing the wheel just to get type safety.

Golang on the other hand won't let you compile of the code is wrong. In various ways the linter is more strict than pep8.

I also love how they kept struct. It leaves the impression your working with bare metal. The idioms for goosing, like Python, become intuitive and set in.

The issue that made be give up golang is the libraries are a joke. I'm talking dead simple things like orm and logging alone rule it out for anything serious.

You also begin to miss things like REPL, Python prompt toolkit, nummy, Ipython, etc. Django and sqlalchemy are things you'd kiss.

Golang is a better programming language, but it's way too green. You'd be reinventing the wheel constantly,
