I hear that. I work in Python, but prototype most things in Go, simply because many classes of problems benefit from the additional structure, and a compiler that can reason about that structure. Also Go has excellent tooling, it has great libraries, it compiles to static binaries, and anyone can read it.

I'm hopeful about Python's type checking though, but so far it leaves a lot to be desired (absolutely no recursive types, lots of bugs, strange restrictions, confusing for variables, etc).
