I think Golang is very suitable for network programming tasks. It gives you wonderful libraries to work with sockets, strict rules to structure your code, automatic memory management, goroutines for concurrent programming etc. Most network related small apps were written in C, now you can write them in Go. With the added benefit of simple libraries, memory management and goroutines. You don't have to mess arround with platform specific sockets, threading libraries etc. Plus every piece of code you open is written in understandable Go. With C, there is years of baggage, multiple standards, pre-compiled headers, undefined behaviour etc. And lastly, new is always more exciting than old :)
