More reasons: some of the Go language creators were heavily involved in the creation of Unix and C, and while I don't know it for a fact, it's pretty likely that they intended and designed Go to be useful for command-line tools as well, e.g. servers, utilities, etc. Also, Go has the flags package for handling command-line arguments (though other languages like Python do have various libs for that too).

Josh Fraser, Torbit co-founder, told me that. http://www.torbit.com/ http://www.torbit.com/ http://www.onlineaspect.com/about/ http://www.onlineaspect.com/about/ (Josh's site)
