Good luck with that. I haven't been successful at convincing anyone to move away from it. I'm so fucking sick of writing Python at work lol

Because I hate dynamically typed languages for anything besides scripting and glue code.

Or are you asking why I haven't had success? Mostly because the people I work with are dead set that Python is perfect for everything. I had one guy argue it should be used for embedded work

Just about anything, as long as it's statically typed.

The domain I work in is basically perfect for Go, so I've been pushing for that.
