GoLang works for my team because it's boring, small, compact, not fancy, easy to pick up and start writing real production code in less than a week. It hits the sweet spot with regards to language constructs, performance, features, superb documentation, and a de-facto set of practices and design principles that make it easy to pick up a completely new codebase and understand it very quickly. It works very well with VSCode and even better with IntelliJ IDEA, debugging is painless, and it even runs on our Raspberry PIs and other IoT devices. We use GoLang on a whole bunch of MIPS and ARM devices, it's a great option seeing as how quickly we can get production code up and running on small edge devices, routers, etc. Sure, we can write embedded code in C, but GoLang allows us to roll out new features three to five times quicker.
