And lastly, look. Simple is sometimes good. Most people dont need a bazillion different features or like shiny new things, good enough and a goof ecosystem is good IMO. Go seems to solve many people's problems as a "better Python", that I am happy for. Python is horrid for anything but scripting.
Go kind of seems like the middle-way. Less advanced than Rust and C++ but still fast & compatible across so many operating systems.
