Why we’re writing machine learning infrastructure in Go, not Python

As an individual, many of Go's benefits aren't as useful. It's optimized for team settings, emphasizing consistency, readability, explictness, and low cognitive overhead, which are all major weaknesses of Haskell, and major reasons it's not widely used in industry.

For many applications, Go has higher cognitive overhead than Haskell. Modulo learning Haskell of course, but still.

Go is made to treat people as Resources. Full stop. That explains everything about it's benefits.
