alt Hacker NewsPython used to have a great standard library, too. But now it's stuck with a bunch of obsolete packages and the packaging story for Python is awful.
In a decade or so Go the awkward things about Go will have multiplied significantly and it'll have many of the same problems Python currently has.

Lots of removals have already happened and uv took over packaging in Python-land.

I just ported (this week) a 20-year-old Python app to uv/polars. (With AI it took two days). App is now 20x faster.

Big caveat that this is just for me personally, but uv has fixed this for me personally. Game changing improvement for Python. Appropriately, uv is written in rust.
