I think for Go proponents it is more about what the language doesn't have. They like working with simpler languages. From what you've said that sort of thing doesn't appeal to you much, so I don't know if there's a real compelling need for you to try Go. Sure on the concurrent side Go has coroutines built into the language (go-routines), and there's something to be said about that, but there are are coroutine libraries for many other languages. But on the other hand Go isn't that hard to learn, certainly easier to get a grasp on than Rust or Scala, especially if you've worked with languages like c, c++, before. So I'd say go ahead and give Go a try. You may find you like it, and even if you don't it's not really that much of a time sink to pick up.
