Sounds like it the execution time required to processing the vast amounts of data produced. go is quite likely to beat python in compute bound or data crunching tasks.



Go is definitely faster than Python for those types of tasks, however I'm suspicious of it being that much faster. I've crunched massive data sets in Python and as long as you're aware of its limitations, you can make things pretty zippy.
