Go is great for all kinds of [web] server/systems and network programming -- if you're ok with the GC (i.e. it's a replacement for most things you'd do with Java and possibly some C/C++ stuff). Then Go is a great choice (BTW the Go standard library is fantastic and the eco system is amazing! you want to do USB, see gousb, d-bus? look at go.dbus etc). If you are building an OS, game engine, database server or doing embedded programming where the gc is a problem, or if you need a memory/type safe program (at the expense of a bit of productivity), then use Rust.
