I've been using Python almost exclusively since 2004. Go is the first language that has made me want to switch. I can't put my finger on it, but it's fun to work with. Actually, I'll try to put my finger on it:
1) Fast build times
2) Goroutines. If you've tried using any async library in Python or are waiting for Tulip to come into mainline Python around v3.4 - stop wasting your time. Goroutines along with channels just works (TM) and is unbelievably easy to use. No callbacks, no threadpools, no having to CTRL-C your way out of a bug. It's a pleasure to work with.
