I have pretty good mastery of Python2, and in my hands, a few lines of Python would blow up into a page of Go. This really frustrated me and was one of the reasons I bounced off of it.
Other reasons: no fork(), poor make integration, weird source dir structure, and I once caught one of the go tools trying to write system files in /usr/lib or something (which fortunately failed on permissions). Can't recall the specifics of that last, and perhaps it was somehow misconfigured.
Python2 has a good feature set, and one of the downsides of Python3 is that it greatly enlarges what you need to know without much expanding what you can do. It's a real problem, and it would be a shame if it ended up where C++ is these days. ("Poor Joe--a C++ spec fell off a high shelf and killed him...")
