I've tried both for a personal project. Kotlin is a fun language, but you've got all the headaches of the JVM ecosystem to deal with (tedious build tooling, deployment headaches, egregious memory consumption, etc). OTOH, Go is simple to pick up, and it's ecosystem is great. Everything compiles into a single binary, so deployment is moving a single file--no runtime dependencies, no JVM to configure, etc.
