I'm not sure how to continue my programming journey, so I'm asking here:

I've only ever used Python, and I love it, except when it's slow (which is *always* when you're interested in writing very efficient graph algorithms like I am).

I like simple, clean code, I've mostly never used objects or classes, they're not particularly useful for what I'm doing.

So, after some research, I am thinking about learning C or Go. The thing is, C is much more widely used and supported, but I don't want to become a hardcore developer who has to manage memory and shit. I want to be a mathematician who can write good code, that's all.

Also, I like that Go makes concurrency easier, at least that's what I've read, which is something I'll need to use a LOT because of the particular algos I have in mind.

What do you guys recommend? cc
