This has been my experience with python. When I was younger I wanted the fast out iteration times and speed of coding. Now that I work on a large python project I really miss having a compiler. Go offers a great tradeoff with fast iteration time and good speed of coding while scaling to large teams and codebases well. I actually find the iteration time faster than python because the tests run so much faster.


Go's pretty limited in what you can encode. I couldn't go back to having to write explicit test cases for stuff I can get the Scala compiler to check.
