I disagree. IMO:

I think Go will be well suited for web applications: 1. Google App Engine will continue to play a major role in Go's development. 2. The speed of development in Go is equal to or exceeds that of other dynamic languages. Static typing takes minimal extra time and immediately pays off by catching silly errors, then continues to ease development (and documentation) in the future. 3. Go's standard library already contains powerful tools to develop web apps.

It's important to remember that Go is still very young. Could you explain why you still prefer Python over Go?



The language offers much more powerful programming abstractions.

If you need speed, you can either go PyPy, or Cython after locating the problematic code spots.
