I left the Python ecosystem some time ago.

Reasons: The Python 2->3 transition, asyncio package, async/await function coloring, abysmal package management, the GIL and poor performance, breakage from version to version. I'm ambivalent on type hints. I regret nothing, especially after seeing how the GC and JIT projects have been handled.

Golang addresses all of my problems with Python. Native code, good performance, an exceptional toolchain, a built-in package solution, great concurrency support, and they prioritize compatibility across versions. AI is good at writing Golang (as good as any other language I've tried), and AI benefits a lot from static types.
