Sugu Sougoumarane from YouTube discussed his Go-based "Vitess" MySQL scaling system (https://github.com/youtube/vitess https://github.com/youtube/vitess) at FOSDEM over the weekend. The system powers every single youtube.com page load with sub-2ms latency and each instance serves ~50kqps (with more than 500kqps globally). That's serious systems programming in Go, and it works great for them.
