In my case I frequently need to link to C libraries, so Java is a non-starter. (I realize many others have the opposite problem.) Go allows me to easily build wrappers for the libraries I need, then get to business. From there it's the concurrency primitives, goroutines and channels, that make Go a true winner. It's easy to build network services that can move work through various stages quickly and in parallel. SEDA-style workloads are a pleasure to implement in Go.
