Interesting. My chief criticism of Python (as a Python dev) is that Python has too much metaprogramming capabilities, and people always write code that is more clever than necessary. I find that Go's culture seems to value doing simple things unless absolutely necessary. In one case, a recent Ruby->Go convert made a middleware library called Martini that leaned heavily on reflection, and the community's response was something like, "This is neat, but this seems too clever to be idiomatic", and the developer turned around and built Negroni, which is (I hear) more idiomatic and less clever.
