A comment on Why We Switched from Python to Go (2021).

I'm considering moving away from Python as well, to compiled language also. Performance and single executable are my primary motivation. I'm tired of venv, PYTHONPATH and OS package dependency issues.

I'm however very much reliant on Pandas and Pyarrow for custom ETL works. Does anyone have suggestion what language and ecosystem I can switch to? Preferably something simple that does not require cluster or JVM to avoid deployment hassles.

To both you and the peanut gallery. You should basically* never be using PYTHONPATH or OS packages. And there are several solutions to improve ergonomics of virtualenvs out there.

* I've never had a legitimate use case to use OS packages and only one to use PYTHONPATH, which is tot temporarily set it during tests in a repo with multiple independent sub-packages, coverage reports get a bit squirrelly.
