I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ll ever fully understand the Python --&gt; Go transition, I sometimes have to shrug and attribute it to the power of big company backing. I think the drain has mostly been from Python web and networking programmers, probably a bunch of devops scripters too, but with web pretty much everything else that offers easy to use and high performance web servers out of the box is a cause for drain too, so I think the transition to Go directly is probably less severe than what one might think from HN submissions. Python is much more anyway and will remain a strong choice for many areas for years to come. For your point 2 I agree completely, for the few reasons that I can kind of understand why one would do Python --&gt; Go, Python --&gt; Nim (among <i>several</i> other viable options) ought to weigh in as a better choice based on the same reasoning, and Nim offers other extra reasoning criteria to sweeten the deal. I&#x27;m not sure how to target Go users other than to consistently show their favorite domains are done better with another language.
