I'll be interested to see how this trend goes when they FINALLY pull the plug 
on Python 2.7 and everyone who's been kicking the can down the road for the 
better part of a decade finally has to figure out which third-party libraries 
are breaking.

Python is better for some things, Go better for others.  Python makes a good 
first language; Go does not.  That affects numbers, too.  Go apps are MUCH 
simpler to deploy than Java or C# or Python apps, but that's going to matter 
more for enterprise users with a good release process than hobbyists or 
business users whose deploy is "scp a bunch of files over and reboot", which is 
more than you'd think, sadly.

I don't trust popularity metrics that treat vector quantities as scalars.  I'm 
not going to lose much sleep over this.
