There’s an interesting trade off around maintenance. Python’s stdlib means there’s more consistency across projects and you can assume basic things like error handling which you had to check individually on each Go program, which is the kind of stuff which adds up when you have a lot of small programs.

This is especially noticeable with AWS Lambda where you can have a lot of useful stuff running for years without doing more than bumping the runtime version every year or two, but also that is one highly opinionated architecture so it’s not globally optimal for everyone.
