Yeah, Python works too, though Go is great at concurrency in a way Python isn't (we were spawning loads of goroutines for tests without any issue, for example, and channels are well supported) so it fits better. I too am a Python fan for scripting though :) > Rust interests me because it is in the same range as most languages for most things but is a LOT better at a very few things. Me too, for similar reasons. It's like C++, but without all the stuff I didn't like about C++ :) > I'm waiting to hear somebody use Rust in a video game engine. http://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston
