Sure, and some tools are better and worse than others. That's of course a subjective matter of opinion.

I personally like things with stronger type systems than golang (and C) has to offer. If I'm going to write a small util and don't care so much about types (or performance), I'll reach for python. If I do, I'll reach for rust. Golang just never seems like the right tool for any of my jobs.




Understandable. For what I do, Python is slow, and deployment is a problem (mandatory virtualenvs, etc.). I used to love Python, but Go replaced it immediately, I may say.

If I need speed, I use C++.

If I need something more complicated than a bash script, I use Python.
