Go is our language of choice for most of our microservices. The simplicity and power of Go is what makes us love it. It's fun to write, has a very powerful standard library that we try to stick to. In case what we are looking for is not in the std lib then it has a huge community with tons of libraries to choose from.

Scalability is another important point that go thrives. Simple concurrency models that are easy to manage are very appealing to us.
