To me, it kind of sits between Golang and Rust in terms of intent. I think the goal is to deliver reliable runtime characteristics at the speed of a compiled language, while generally only demanding as much specificity as higher-level interpreted languages (i.e. Ruby). For me I reach for it when I want something that's fast (like go or Rust) but which I can write quickly (like Python or Ruby).
