Same. 99% of my back-end and robot code is Python. Maybe this is a grass is always greener kind of thing but I'm hitting projects of a size where I miss static typing.

I will say that asyncio is amazing and really solves concurrency for me. But Go looks like you also get parallelism without a lot of work.

Asyncio is good but it will not give you true parallelism: asyncio still uses the GIL, on a single thread

Yep. Concurrency is not parallelism. But a lot of the time it's just not necessary.
