I rewrote a python webservice in go once and found go need A MORE boilerplate code because of json structures need to be strictly defined for better or worst.

In python, it is at lease 10x less code for json parsing. json.dumps(), json.loads() is basically what I needed. The exception handle fill in all the undefined easily.

Also, go used a lot more memory because the GC is not under my control. In python, I can tell the GC to collect and one can see the memory shrink immediately. In go, that was not the case for me. A program that build GB of search index database in go end up using 4x the amount of memory as compare to python. Golang at that time (2+ years ago) lack the gc debugging infrastructure for me to resolve the problem.
