I needed to process a 2 GB xml file the other day. While my Python script was chugging away, I had Claude translate it to Go. The vibe-coded Go program then processed the file before my original Python script terminated. That was the first time I ever touched Go, but it certainly won't be the last.

Go is pretty awesome. I’m sure that spending some time with the script would have made it at least 50 times faster than Python.
