Well, I don't expect most programs to be re-written in Go, but I think in, say 10 years' time most new programs will be. By then Go's mature, fast libraries will be comparable to any of Python's (although C will have the kernel-level advantages still I think). I think 24 months quoted in the article is optimistic...

Make Go code easily usable from Python (as C is) and the point will be completely moot. Why not do it?

Is already possible: https://bitbucket.org/binet/go-python

But is simpler to just write all your code in Go, Python code is not just slower, it is also less reliable and less maintainable.
