I wonder if you don't hear about it because it 'just works.' That's been my experience with Go. No frills, get stuff done type of language. No language is perfect, but Go doesn't have leftPad issues or a new language construct weekly like JS. It also doesn't have decades of baggage to lug around like Java. There just isn't much for people to talk about. It's a boring language that is, for the most part, easy to read and write.
