People want one tool to do all their work. Which is why Python took off in the ML and scientific computing space. The same language you use for data analytics is the same one you use for ETL, building a web backend, interfacing with the system, etc.
People can use whatever language works for them, and Go has it's plusses, but I would hate to see popularity get in the way of a good new language like Julia in a domain it was intended for. It would be like if R were relatively new, and everyone wanted to use Javascript instead for statistical computing. Use the right tool for the job.
