People like Go because of all the things Go does well. Here is a few examples: * benefits of static typing at low cost to the programmer thanks to type inference and duck-typing, * intuitive and easy-to-use concurrency model based on channels and go routines, * functions as first-class objects, * very good performance, * clean, concise and simple syntax, * novel, low-overhead approach to build configuration based on the convention-over-configuration principle (your import statements express all there is to know about how to build your software), * garbage collector. I'm sure I forgot more.
