Go is vaguely Pythonic (extensive stdlib, and generally adheres to the Zen of Python). Even if there's not much in terms of frameworks, it's great for replacing small parts of a server that have to handle a lot of load. A lot of people have existing Python servers that grew into being performance hotspots. It fits into the sort of niche that node.js does. Personally, I'm not keen on it - I find that roughly 2/3rds of my code end up being error handling - and hope Rust eventually takes off.
