I think "Program your next server in Go" is a little too broad, the specific language features that Go explicitly leaves out makes it hard to build an extensive backend server. Go is best suited to use cases listed in these slides: simple services that do very focused things. I love Go and used it to build some very useful web hook and CLI tools. It just doesn't lend itself to something where you expect to have a vast set of APIs under one Go project.
