I guess we should see this use of Go as an example of its displacing Python in places where performance sort of matters.

Yes, I think that's the case a lot of places. At least, I know of more than a few Python/Go shops, although I know about even more Ruby/Go shops, for which the same argument would hold.

As someone more on the Ops side, static binaries FTW! Not having to worry about different versions of interpreters and supporting libraries on different machines is a bigger reason for me to really learn Go. Plus simple cross-compilation.
