Web scraping with Golang vs. Python: Which is more efficient?

[Gurutz Tanja]

Python is easier for quick-and-dirty web scraping, especially with libraries like BeautifulSoup and Scrapy

[Osip Taffy]

Golang’s concurrency with goroutines makes it ideal for large-scale scraping, but it has fewer scraping libraries.

[Roseanne Bran]

For a beginner or smaller project, Python is more approachable.

[Olga Bipin]

Golang is better suited for scraping projects that require high performance and scalability.

[Kajetan Chaz]

Python’s async libraries like aiohttp make it capable of handling large-scale scraping efficiently too.
