That is one of my three big gripes with Python. The other two are the horrible way the 2 to 3 transition was managed and the GIL.

But none of those has driven me to switch to another language, nor do I expect it to. Go seems to be this author's alternative of choice; perhaps if my one goal in life was to write a production network backend without using any dependencies, I might agree, but it isn't, and having done some work with Go I find it gets in my way much more than Python does. I have the same problem with other languages.

In this regard, I find it interesting that the following is currently on the HN front page:

TL/DR: Go's network sockets set TCP_NODELAY by default, which is, the article argues, a very bad idea.

The article is wrong and doesn't even address the primary reason why git-lfs is slow in his case.
