Until Docker or Kubernetes fad doesn't go away, having to deal with Go is something that those of us that rather use C# or modern Java have to face, so it will help if the language catches up with modern times.
The latter, as I always mention, platform languages always have the edge even if not as fancy as guest languages.
In the context of Docker and k8s, Go is the platform language so to speak, and although there are extension points for other languages, one has less integration headaches when using Go as well.
