I played with Golang a little bit, it is very boring (and that is good), it is very pragmatic and performant.

I didn't like dealing with JSON data but other than that.. it's great to get work done in a simple way if work == services/backendy kind of things.

I would love to rewrite a lot of our python services in golang, both for the performance gains and to make the projects look more alike.

Python gives way too much flexibility, is a pain to deploy and has too many frameworks for doing the same thing.
