Go does have some benefits. In my case, cross-compiling into one binary means it could be the easiest way to build and deploy on an embedded platform where I normally use a quite complex to set up C++ toolchain. At the same time Go's a typical "sidekick" language, because it's really good only at a few things, unlike C++ or Java which are useable for almost everything.
