GO or Python?

for basic automation and scrapers python is the easiest way to start. you can get a requests script running in ten minutes. but go is way better once you need high thread counts and want to compile your tools into a single exe so people cant easily leech your source. start with python to learn the logic, then jump to go when python starts choking on your multi threading.

Learn Python. It is easy and there are many use cases for it

Python, for sure. It is in demand and it is also intuitive and relatively easy to learn. Good luck with it!

Python for a beginner, no real contest. The ecosystem is wider (every automation lib, scraping framework, AI/ML library has its best implementation in Python first), syntax is forgiving while you build mental models, and the jobs/freelance market for Python-shaped work is 5-10x bigger than Go's. Go is a great second language once you understand concurrency and want to compile a static binary for performance-sensitive tooling — but as a first language you'll spend more time fighting the compiler than learning to solve actual problems. Pick Python, build three things end-to-end, then re-evaluate.
