Good points. So far I find I really like Python's mocking, "with self.some_useful_patch()" is really nice, and I like the idea of side effects especially with boto. Of course in some cases it's really difficult, but every language has its tricky unit-testing problems.

One big point I would give to Golang, about which lots of people disagree with me, is the "opinionatedness" of it. It seems to me that Python, like Perl, has a "There's More Than One Way To Do It" mentality, and after many years of that I really appreciated Golang's emphasis on the "idiomatic." That goes for the tooling too.

I have also noticed that the Python ecosystem doesn't have a strong documentation culture, which I find annoying as a relative newbie. But that presumably matters less over time, and it seems to be part of the Python Way to use libraries that "just work" and not worry about the details.
