Because they have Python code that needs to be supported. The ML ecosystem, for example, is much larger in Python than Go.


Has Youtube been completely moved off from Python? Last account I have from it (quite outdated, I must admit) was that it had heavy ties with it.


Not sure, but I believe the performance-critical components are C++.


Go is not used in machine learning at all
