i got into it just because its novel, but I've kept using it because I find that the simplicity + performance + safety makes it very useful for prototyping. Last year I challenged myself to do Advent of Code with V, because I knew I couldn't google the answers + there are very few packages for it (I limited myself to the standard library). I felt like I was back in CS courses, just banging my head against a wall, and it was super fun. I personally can't say why someone would use it over Go or Rust, but I can say its a joy to write.
