I always find it bizarre when python (and to some extent java) are lumped in as languages that you found Go or Rust a suitable replacement for. They're just such different ends of the spectrum - Go/Rust will just never be able to match the expressivity and rapid development ease of python because they have such different design goals.

If you find porting a production application from python to Go/Rust a satisfactory outcome, then I suspect you should never have been using python for it in the first place or you've been using python All Wrong.

I have used Go on a project that could easily have been done in Python, though. So they are not that far apart in terms of suitability.
