Typing is available now, and other QA tools for years.

Python has all of those things:

- language regularity; black has been the default for years now, and if you want to enforce a different style, there are other tools

- documentation and online communities; not even a contest, no language comes close to Python in extensive documentation and online support

- libraries; much the same, Python standard libraries are world-class

- versioning & namespacing; Depending what you need from this, Python is again more robust, namespacing in Go is a disaster.

- deployment simplicity; ...alright, you got this one. Python deployment is harder than it should be. Still, I find my Docker images about the same complexity between the two; more complex deployment in Python, but no need for compilation

By regularity I mean much more than just style. Ironically Go does “one obvious way to do something” much better than Python. When formatting a string, should I use % operator, str.format(), or f-strings? If I want to make a data obj, should I use a regular class, dict, namedtuple, dataclass, or TypedDict? If I’m changing each element in a list do I use a list-comprehension, or loop, or map()? Even unit testing in Go is mostly converged on the stdlib framework, in Python it’s constant back-and-forth between unittest, pytest, and nose. Static typing? Mypy, PyRight, Pyre, Pytype, with varying degrees of IDE support. Speaking of IDE support, which of the 3 major LSP servers should you use? How do I specify dependencies, with raw pip, Conda, pipenv, or poetry? When setting up my dev env should I use virtualenv or venv, or do I not have to use it bc of pipenv or Conda?

(I only actually use one of each of those with my own code, but I have to know about them all to work in the ecosystem.)

Also IMO, Python’s stdlib comes nowhere close to the quality of Go’s.

Somehow despite all this I still enjoy writing Python, and use it sometimes for my personal stuff. But in a team setting on a large code base? Nah.

Go namespacing works quite well in my experience. As well as Python. No idea what you mean.
