It seems that these things come and go in waves. I notice that one article gets posted which gets a lot of up-votes and then that article seems to spark off a lot more articles on the same subject. I'm also guessing that if you were to actually come up with a list of all articles on the front page which are specific to the subject of programming languages, it would probably look a lot different than you think. If Go is getting relatively frequent mentions, I would think it's because it's relatively approachable (I have never worked with Scala, but I'm assuming that Go is way more simple to install,) quick to learn and new toys such as Docker which has been on the front page a lot also gives Go a boost.
