Go 1.18 Beta 1 is available, with generics

I love python, and I don't blame you. I can't stand the Django way of doing things. Everything is so opinionated, dynamic, and magical in the bad way. Pytest has a similar vibe and it drives me nuts. Not a fan of OOP, either, I much prefer immutable objects that are either pure data, or convenience methods that return a copy. No more setters, state mutation methods, setattr, unless it's deeply abstracted away.

Nowadays I use Fastapi, pydantic, Result, and static typing everywhere. Protocol interfaces are great.

This!!! I’ve done a fair bit of python api development mostly for ML services. We used flask/gunicorn and I’m considering moving to fastapi. I’m sure Django is awesome for what it does well but python has a lot more options.

Fwiw - I do dabble in Go. I’ve used it for some very targeted systems work where I don’t have to install a python interpreter on the target machine and hacking some k8s operators. I really like Go - but the ML ecosystem is pretty heavily python.

Do it, do it nao! And by that, I mean at your earliest convenience. It's such a step up from Flask. All the serde is handled for you via Pydantic. No more manually vetting data. Just write constraints.
