Languages like Go are arguably easier to use and getting a basic project up and running and sharing it with others is far easier than with Python. If you really care about a scripting workflow, it’s as easy to do ‘go run main.go’ as it is to do ‘python main.py’ for projects without dependencies and for projects with dependencies it’s a lot easier to just do ‘go run main.go’ than configuring a venv and installing your dependencies and then running ‘python main.py’.

Nit: Ocaml is about on par with Go. Some programs will be faster and others will be slower, but OCaml is very much in the same performance tier as Go, Java, and C# (benchmark game prohibits idiomatic Go code for certain benchmarks so it appears artificially slow).
