Go provides most of the benefits of the JVM without being as much of a memory hog. Thus, it makes it a nice replacement for somebody who would rather use Pascal/Modula than C++. (Java originally was seen by me as a Pascal in C++ clothing for Unix)

I also jumped into Java when it appeared for the same reason. Until Go compilers provide support for generics and dynamic loading, I rather use C++1y, D or Rust.
