Because Go is faster and lightweight compared to both Python and Ruby :)

You might not like to the answer. But, that's the truth :) By the way, Go is a very easy language to master.

That is still the wrong answer.
The question "Why not use X" is not so you could tell me buzzwords about your favorite tool Y. But so you would evaluate why couldn't you do everything you did right now with the tool X and would stop putting weight on the tooling you used.
The post becomes useless when you remove the tooling part because you might as well read the RFCs which are much more informative and truthful compared to your hearsay.
