Coming from Python in the field of web backends/webservices, I just find Java's ecosystem in general has too much ceremony. Go is fairly straight forward, to the point. I don't care too much for performance, but being lightweight on resources is a nice plus compared to Python (smaller VMs) and deployment is much easier. Yes, I do miss some language features (exceptions, classes...), but it's still very manageable. Of course Python has third party libraries for everything, but Go has all the basics for web services in the standard library. C++/Rust is out as I have no such performance requirement and GC is fine in my case. So that's it... Go fills a niche like a lot of other languages, so why not ?
