> rewrite it in Golang

Totally, I'm a big fan of statically typed, compiled languages; especially when the codebase is large and/or there are a lot of contributors. I chose the Node example because I feel like it offers the same "ease-of-use" that draws people to Python.

100%. Sometimes this matters, sometimes it doesn't, but if we're talking about "smart performance hacks" this is definitely a top contender.

I work on a Python project and I really wish that it supported multi-threading. If I rewrote it, I would prioritize that feature in the target language.
