While this is true to a degree, development costs also come into play here. Let's simplify the problem a lot for a moment. Suppose the only thing you care about is cost and the only things you can control are the hardware you're running on and the code it runs. You can optimize your code to use less hardware, which would lower operational costs. But you also have to pay developers to optimize the code. In some cases,…
Well, let's play that game. 0.22€/kWh. So a 1kW server costs almost €2000/year. If you write Python vs. Go, the performance increase can be 10 fold, so you'd save €1800/yr. So when you're running 55 Python servers, you could earn 1 dev by rewriting (assuming €100k/yr, all in). Not to upset anyone: there are a lot of assumptions. It's just ballpark numbers. There's a large difference between Python v. Go for tensorflo…
I'm certainly not saying that's not possible to have a highly productive team of Go developers. But I think expecting a team of Python developers to become Go experts is not likely to work well. (Dropbox potentially being a notable exception, although I don't know how they navigated this change organizationally.)
