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.
