I think you've defined the use case for Go away. Without more context, you seem to be taking use cases where you only have business logic in web apps as a consideration.

There's lots of other places where a developer might want something that's quite fast, but doesn't drag along a lot of dependencies. Any microservice system debugging or performance analysis might fall in that category. Incident response for kubernetes or even data center racks of servers might, too.

A lot of microservices that are horizontally scaled would fit that, too. You don't want huge containers with detailed configurations, because that's hard to get correct, slow to load and probably has a lot of attack surface. A minimal container would make it harder for an attacker to use access to gain further access. Sprawling Java apps are the opposite of that.

Good point! I want to enjoy Go, but I haven't really found the places for it... I usually come back to C# and C++ for high level and lower level problems after exploring and using modern/hyped alternatives like Go and Rust for a while. They might not be cool or idealistic, but they are very pragmatic.
