I understand pushing back against the idea that Go is a scripting language.
I understand pushing back against the idea that Go is a scripting language. Arguing that Python isn't a "scripting language" is a complete waste of time. That ship sailed at least 5 years ago, if not 15. And Python is still very, very slow, and very difficult to make multicore (if you disagree, compare with Go), and there are plenty of domains where it should not be chosen as a result. Yes, I know about PyPy, but that project's performance characteristics are very strange and certainly isn't "it just speeds up Python code by 10x, all the time"... sometimes it does that, sometimes (rarely) it slows it down, mostly it does something in the middle that certainly doesn't bring Python anywhere near C.
