What are the differences in how Go and Python handle concurrency?
Go’s concurrency model is based on goroutines, which are lightweight and much simpler to manage compared to Python’s threading or asyncio.

Python’s asyncio is powerful but more complex to implement, and doesn’t scale as well for I/O-bound tasks.

Go’s channels provide a safe way to communicate between goroutines, making concurrency easier to implement.

If you’re building a web server with high concurrency, Go is the better choice due to its simplicity and performance.

Python is still great for tasks where concurrency isn’t the main focus, such as data analysis or AI/ML work, but Go is more suitable for high-performance, multi-threaded applications.
