I know the typical answer is “no because all the libs are in python”… but I am kind of baffled why more porting isn’t going on especially to Go given how Go like Python is stupid easy to learn and yet much faster to run. Truly not trying to start a flame war or anything. I am just a bigger fan of Go than Python and was thinking coming in to 2024 especially with all the huge money in AI now, we’d see a LOT more movement in the much faster runtime of Go while largely as easy if not easier to write/maintain code with. Not sure about Rust… it may run a little faster than Go, but the language is much more difficult to learn/use but it has been growing in popularity so was curious if that is a potential option.

There are some Go libs I’ve found but the few I have seem to be 3, 4 or more years old. I was hoping there would be things like PyTorch and the likes converted to Go.

I was even curious with the power of the GPT4 or DeepSeek Coder or similar, how hard would it be to run conversions between python libraries to go and/or is anyone working on that or is it pretty impossible to do so?

    I am really looking forward to Zig maturing. I find the memory model stuff a bit odd, but the overall language looks easy enough for most things, and so far everything I read… and this being a 0.11 release, is that it’s as fast if not faster than C code in most cases. I don’t know how well it would compare to higher level languages like Go, Java, etc for back end web stuff… but I’d imagine with some time and a few good frameworks similar to Go’s Chi, JWTAuth and Casbin libraries, it would be very good.
