I have experience with both (and a lot of other languages) and honestly - I wouldn't move from Python to Go. I'd move from Python to the very latest version of C#.

You get far better tooling, excellent performance, the ability to write extremely concise code (as long as you don't apply mainstream coding standards/style) and a better range of libraries for most situations than Go. More chance for re-use too (i.e. same library for mobile apps, websites via web assembly, backend and apps for all major PC platforms).

Also - the leaders of both Python and C# are coworkers - they both work at Microsoft.
