As a Python developer, I don't think many Python people consider it a "better Python". It's much less expressive than Python. Python developers are sacrificing a lot of things, but they're keeping simplicity and extreme readability, and gaining massive performance gains.

A "Python-y modern C" would be a better description.

Fair enough. I think that, as Pike says, a lot of Go users are coming from Python. That doesn't mean that a lot of Python users are going to Go.
