I think Go will supersede python in a few years time as the more performant language useful for systems programming but also glue code as well. The fact that it builds to a single static binary is huge IMO.

What a curious perspective, this is the norm for most popular languages, and less relevant than ever in the age of containers.

Not really, C# and java have not historically produced static binaries. Unless using some third party tool.

It’s handy for lowering cold boot times in lambda functions.

What would be the best way to integrate Go for performant pieces in a python codebase? The only things I found online currently offer the use of cgo, which results in even less performant code.

Migrate the code base to Go.
