I write a lot of back end stuff in Python for my own account such as some IoT functionality for my smart home, workflow systems for making machine learning training sets, filtering images for art projects, filtering social media posts, job listings, etc.

It is all a lot of fun but it is also low volume, mostly driven by me, myself and I with a little bit of ‘friends and family.’

Python does not deal with concurrency well so I would not be confident that these applications would hold up to heavy use.

For the last 15 years or so every back end I have worked on professionally has either been JVM or .NET. To be frank, rewriting an application in a different language is one of the most certain ways to launch a failing project. It is right up there with leaving your spouse to get a better lover in terms of success rate.

I would say though that Go is an appropriate choice if you are succeeding with it now.
