Some people think Java is icky and other people think the JVM brings too much baggage for their comfort.
Warranted or not, it usually fills the space where fast microservices are necessary.
Personally I think Go's closest competitor is Scala.
Coming from Python, Ruby, and TypeScript -- Go is a fair bit more verbose, and Java takes that a step further. So Go is a nice go-between from scripted environments to compiled.
