It was meant more as an observation than my opinion. I would pick Go over Java/C# any day of the week, but it’s not like talented JVM engineers won’t run in circles around you as far as performance goes.

I’d frankly pick Python for most things though. It’s a terrible language, everyone knows it’s terrible but it gets things done and everyone can work with it. I view performance issues a little different than most people though. To me hitting the wall where you can no longer “make do” with C/Zig replacements of Python bottlenecks means you’ve made it. The vast majority of software projects will never be successful enough to get there.
