I might have written my last project in Python rather than Go. Go is a great language in its niche, but it's overkill for a run-of-the-mill web CRUD API on a low-traffic site. Flask or Django would have got the project done in half the time. The front end was in React, which was fun, but I was still climbing the learning curve and made a few mistakes I wouldn't have made today.

Same experience here. Prototyping in Python remains faster. The possibility to inspect variables on the go in a notebook are an invaluable feature of this programming language. Afterwards you can always implement the time critical components in Go.
