Pypy is super cool, but it doesn’t solve for maintainability and it only improves performance by one order of magnitude, leaving it 1-2 orders slower than Go. Besides, IMO, goroutines are so much nicer than Python’s async.

Yeah, I totally agree. I love Python, but I can't stand Python's async situation. I don't like Go, but I think its concurrency is miles better.
