Python or Golang for Coding in 2024? #programming #shorts

The age old question of Python and Golang. In this short I break down why I think golang is better language than Python

Python is good for all rounder but when you go deep in some field then there's just something better that is available there.


(Just what I observed when diving in Data visualisation and getting introduced to 'R-programming'.. I'm a new learner)

I use python professionally at work.
I favor static typing, so i personally annotate all my types in python 3.12, most of the older codebases are trash dumps of dynamic garbage. I like that go is mandatory static typed unlike python with opt in linting, so my coworkers wouldnt be able to make messes.

Three things i really love about python are

Decent Iterator supt
Polars (pandas faster better designed new competitor) written in rust btw
And jupyter nb, of which i hear go and rust also now have some notebook feature now, so thats interesting to hear.

Is there something that you can do in Golang, but not in Python?

Is it just the readability of the languages that spur the comparisons? When I take time to seriously compare and contrast them, it feels like they're more distinct than people give them credit for

I'm not a huge fan of Python, but I use it in algo trading to do analysis on market data using Pandas. But I use Go for the actual trade execution engine. Otherwise, I would use Go for everything.

I’ve never liked dynamic languages. They’re annoying and messy. You can’t even trust the implicit types in Python because you may not know what some nutjob has done to them.

“Go emerged to being a better Python”
Bruh, they are completely different languages in every aspect.
