No language or RPC mechanism is perfect, but the proficiency of the coder at the keyboard is_far_  more important.  IMHO we should focus on 1 low level high-performance language (C) and 1 higher level language for other components where high performance isn't required (geo-rep, glusterd etc), as it will encourage higher proficiency in the chosen languages and less fractured knowledge amongst developers.

Agree here. I think we can use Go as the other non-C language for 
components like glusterd, geo-replication etc. and retire the python 
implementation of gsyncd that exists in 3.x over time.

python will still be present as part of our distaf test infrastructure. 
We can possibly port our bash test scripts to python and retire the 
usage of BASH with Gluster.next releases.
