Thanks for all the kind words!
We love the speed of Go. That is why with GitLab 8.0 we'll make gitlab-git-http-server the default way to clone repositories. For CI the runner that executes the tests https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner is already written on Go so it is portable and installs without dependencies.
We expect that for the majority of the functionality a high level language will continue to be the best choice. Personally I'm watching Elixir and its Phoenix framework that are very fast. But for the foreseeable future we're very happy with Ruby and Rails.
