> Go will be a significant speedup over Python, but likely won't quite match the speed of C/C++ for most tasks. Then again, the ease of development in Go will likely be noticeably better than in C or C++.

In my experience, you don't mean: learn to make C and C++ development just as easy as Go development and enjoy the best of both worlds.

I agree with you, but it seems illogical on the surface.
