I personally despise people combining terms like "fast" or "lightweight" with languages like Go and Python.
We are looking at a build system that, to my knowledge, doesn't take any advantage from being written in Go, other than "being easier to write and understand by a human".
When I see someone giving such reasons for not using a more performant language, I immediately associate such project with janky, fast written codebase and disregard for proper, complete documentation.
"Because you can just read and understand the code", yeah I can do the same in well maintained code of a faster language.
