There are a lot of issues one can point out about Go, it just so happens that what they picked sure makes the language compelling to me. Huge, working (unicode, streaming, etc..) stdlib that doesn't require 20 different third party packages to get a server running. Also has built in formatting, testing, and benchmarking(!) Compiling is so fast I can write tests that run on save in ms showing me outcome before I start typing again and actually enjoy TDD. This isn't possible with TypeScript, C++, or Java. I'd be happy for every other language except Rust to disappear tomorrow, but aside from that Go is just nice and unfussy to get really good performance with a quick dev story.
