I had not seen this. Thanks, this looks like a big leap forward.
A lot of people seem to be thinking that way. /Personally/, with my experience with Go (about five months solid at previous employer), I wouldn't go anywhere near that stack. There are plenty of /other /things with appealing features that Python lacks which would seem to make a better move. :)
Very possibly!
Go as a language leaves me cold, and there are downsides to the one-big-binary approach. But it's undeniably easy to deploy in a container, and the concurrency is very attractive.
Python is easier to deploy in a container than you might think. Check out this three-line Dockerfile from Moshe Zadka (which, by the way, deploys Twisted...): https://moshez.wordpress.com/2016/11/19/belt-suspenders-why-put-a-pex-file-i... <https://moshez.wordpress.com/2016/11/19/belt-suspenders-why-put-a-pex-file-i...> -glyph
But check out the story for binary wheels. The state of things in Python may not be /quite/ as bad as you think.
Indeed, it does look like a promising improvement.
