Whenever I work in Go, I have a lot more confidence in the efficiency of resource usage, and sense of stability that I just don't get from something like Node.js, where I'm constantly wondering... are any of these 1000s of dependencies going to suddenly do something weird like hijack my .env file? How is my program managing memory and overhead when it needs to interface with the kernel via a C++ wrapper? Are these machine resources even being capitalized on by Node.js properly? etc.
I've heard a lot of great things about Rust, and I've touched on it a bit, but Go is just awesome for its abstractions, ease-of-use, and of course insanely fast compile times.
