The various Python folks I know that have done work in Go have all considered it a pleasant language for writing network services. Another point worth noting is that because Go is precompiled (ala C/C++), working with deployed systems written in it should be more like working with the system components written in C/C++ than with the Python web services. There's also the fact that given Docker & Kubernetes are both written in Go, it seems likely that it will eventually make in appearance somewhere in Fedora's infrastructure, even independent of this proposal.
