Reasons why I've chosen Go for APIs:

- The language is simple. No need to lookup strange keywords or try and figure out too much cleverness in the language itself. It promotes readable code.

- A basic and good type system. I don't have to worry much about that int turning into a string.

- Strong default libraries. No need to rely on third party libraries to do a lot of the common API things.

- Low memory footprint.

- Its decently quick even without using channels.
