I prefer the static typing of Go. I feel like code is less likely to have bugs and far easier to understand when I've got static types sent to and returned from every function.

The concurrency of Go is the main feature over python. Python is still faster to write. But very often I want several processes running concurrently and pythons async features just don't cut it. It's so easy to understand goroutines and channels.

Have you tried mypy?

I used mypy to build a tiny toy deep learning library it was nice to use.
