> ... faster ... faster

It is faster to use an existing tool (python or another one) than rewriting a 2K LOC one. This is great for learning Go but the compounded time "lost" with a "slow" python server is nothing compared to the time this tool will require in development, debugging and maintenance over the years. As anyone else, I am subject to NIH and I can understand why writing one's own library is interesting by itself. Please don't invent weak excuses like "ran is faster to type".
