I think your thoughts mirror my own. I have thought about GO, but 90% of my code would be portable to other platforms... and if I wrapped a few functions I could get to the point it was easy to maintain code on several platforms... Which might skew my "develop for the right platform" argument I made earlier.

Or Build out Java? Given what you've mentioned previously about your application, I think the core question for you is which runtime is most efficient. The prospective multi-threading change for python makes that difficult to answer because we have no data when that will happen or how effective it will be. Lack of data never stopped anyone guessing though! I'd expect multi- threaded python to be a bit more efficient than Java - it's lighter and the JVM is a bit of a resource hog. But I think you should also be considering the go runtime option. Being compiled and no JVM overhead should make it the most efficient option - when they provide multi- threading. I can understand Google's reluctance to commit to ship dates, but it would be good to know how they are progressing. I'm expecting comparative old/new billing and the new scheduler in the next couple of months, and multi-threaded python a couple of months after that - but let me emphasise that this is pure guesswork.
