Theoretically, it's basically a faster Node.js. Case in point, TypeScript is moving from Node.js to Go for a 10x speed increase.

But in reality, TypeScript is probably its only legitimate use-case, and only because it already had very stringent requirements.

Most projects either stick to Node.js, or if they need more efficiency, they get rewritten in C++ or Rust, instead of ported to Go.



With all due respect, I am fairly confident that the view you have is formed in a bubble .
