Yes, but it’s not just a single metric. Another is how easy it is for them to hire productive members of the team and how much that costs them - middling Python developers churning out fine”ish” code are cheaper than Rust developers doing the same. It’s hard to find a language where you can be as productive as a developer in Python that also has AOT compilation to generate standalone binaries. Tldr: there’s multiple factors to consider here and it’s more interesting to understand the pressures that cause the decisions, especially if you want to try to create a world where different decisions are made. |

Outside specific cases around machine learning, it’s really not: Go is that language. It’s not like each of those platforms doesn’t have to have a similar team that understand Go anyway (for their SDK), so they could save their customers the abject pain of Python dependency management by just writing their CLIs using it.
