>In the case of Google Go was developed in part to take over some of workloads previously done in Python; a language that is comparably as easy to develop in, with better tools and better performance.

Go definitely performs better, buy I think it'd disingenuous to claim that Go has better tooling.

Just by being a statically typed language, Go does have far better tooling and indeed many languages seem to copy its tooling concepts.

What Python does have is a far richer third party library base.

I assumed this is what you were talking about. i.e. Ipython, Jupyter, pdb, etc.

numpy pandas scikit-learn beautiful soup libraries for geo, geometry, tags, parsers etc etc. Python has an enormous base of sophisticated third party libraries.
