I still use both Go and Python. But Python gives me access to a lot more libraries that do useful stuff. For example the YouTube transcript example I wrote about in the article was only possible in Python because afaik Go doesn't have a decent library for transcript extraction.
Yeah that's a fair point. I still do a ton of Python for work. The language is fine; it's mostly tooling that still feels 30 years old.
