I've read these arguments and they make perfect sense; but having tried different projects rewritten in Go vs Python (with Claude & Cursor); Python was just significantly faster, smaller, and easier to understand for Claude. It was done faster, and made less mistakes. I don't mean faster as execution time, but the code for its Python projects was almost a magnitude smaller. So it was done by the time its Go counterpart was halfway. Maybe it's gotten better, or I need some kind of "how to Go" skill for Claude... But just didn't work out of the box _for me_ as well as Python did. I tried a couple projects rewritten in different languages; Go, Kotlin, Python, Javascript. I settled with Python. (My own background is in Kotlin, Java and C++.)
