Go has some nice aspects but it is much lower level than Python. If you want a statically typed, compiled language closer to Python's level, I know of some projects that have switched from Python to Ocaml. If you want dynamic types, I guess there's Dylan, Lisp, or possibly Erlang. There is also Haskell, but I think using it takes a much different mind-set than Python usually brings out. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
