yes go is my preferred language for solo projects. Mostly because of tooling. I easily get binaries for all platforms, lot of errors are caught by its compiler. It packages everything in single binary which means less operational overhead. Its standard library contains most of the things that you need for web services so it doesn't require lot of dependencies. It is widespread enough to have a rich ecosystem if i do need something outside standard library.

There are some drawbacks too but i guess more experienced you are in any language more issues you will discover with it but you also learn to workaround them.
