I've really, really tried to like GoLang. After 6 years of programming in it, I'm always looking for any opportunity to not use it. Anyone who's written a client library in Go will know what I'm talking about, it's incredibly inelegant. It's very hamstrung by the dedication "simple" which ironically leads to a lot of weird code (empty interfaces, etc) that's hard to explain for anyone not familiar with the language.
Any news on ESR? Since around 2020 it seems he went into complete radio silence.<p>I wonder if the recent improvements in Python performance would be enough to avoid the translation, if done today.
