Go’s type system is not even impressive compared to python’s.

Do you have a pydantic equivalent in go? Also modern typing in python is starting to be OK to be honest (well, if you consider typescript typing OK), so it isn't really a knock on Go :)

I've been working on one [1].

But gosh, does go make it hard.

Well I was comparing to python codebases before they added type annotations

Which, sadly, is still the case of too many dependencies.

While I much prefer Python as a language, Go wins against Python by having a fresher ecosystem, with a higher baseline for type safety. Still pretty low with respect to Rust or mypy/pyright with highest settings, but much better than any of the Python frameworks I've had to deal with.
