So did I :) One of those places replaced an interpreted language used for a process intensive core function with Go and saw a massive performance increase...resulting in clear cost savings.

But Go isn't a silver bullet. It's another tool in the toolbox and sometimes it makes sense to reach for Python, or Kotlin, or Swift, etc. But choosing Python when you should've chosen Rust / Go / D is a tough design decision to quickly come back from.
