you seem to be presenting a false dichotomy. can't go be a success in some place in between c and python?

my haskell is faster than python and more expressive. therefore you should stop using python immediately, right? of course not, because anyone using the shooutout to make sweeping generalizations has of course read the massive disclaimer warning against that...

Go does fall somewhere between the two, which is what I was getting at. Whether that's a good or a bad thing was what I hadn't made my mind up about. I like the idea of something that's expressive and fast, my thoughts are currently that it could to be more expressive.
