> Go is absolutely best-in-class if you have typical Python values.

"Best in class" is not a relative term. Neither Go nor Python are appropriate choices for highly parallel intercomunicating code. Yes, Python is more limited than Go here, but hardly makes a difference when you avoid it.

Haskell and Rust do make it easier, by forcing developers to organize their code in a completely different way. Erlang does the same, with a different kind of organization. None of those languages are more difficult to program in, but yes, they are hard to learn.

thats an extraordinary claim which needs evidence.


Extraordinary?

Name any single Go feature aimed at helping parallel computing.
