Writing a (web)server in Go is not so much about reinventing the wheel, as it is about slapping together the existing building blocks into a server specifically tailored to your application. These building blocks are very complete and are all available in the standard library. This means they are tested, debugged, tested again and have become pretty damn robust. The point about Apache/NGinx being well established and battle hardened still stands, but Go's library is quickly following suit. What Go offers over the others in this respect, is that you do not have to settle for a monolithic one-size-fits-all package. The code you write in Go does one thing (serve your application) and does it well without any compromises.
