The CPython implementation is very slow. There are many language implementations that are much faster (e.g. O'Caml, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, Java, Lua, C, probably Rust). Any one of these is likely to produce a system about as fast as the Go system with about the same amount of effort. Thus dwelling on Go being faster than Python is not interesting.
What is interesting is the properties of Go that make it better or worse suited to particular organisations and problems. This is what I tried to get at in the second paragraph.
The precise implementation strategy of Go/Python/V8/whatever is interesting in its own right but irrelevant to my points.
