Go is a compiled language that compiles to a single binary without needing a virtual machine. It has built-in support for easy concurrency using goroutines and channels that allows for simple yet powerful communication. Writing servers in Go is also easy due to its powerful and production-ready net/http library, and the code is clean and minimal due to automatic formatting tools and standard practices around the language. The standard library is also very full-featured so most needs are met out of the box, and the language is designed to be easy to use, learn and get started with through commands like "go get", "go build", and "go test".
