Go's static typing is a bit old school. If you want a statically typed (yet flexible and powerful), native-fast, easily deployed environment, I would go for Rust. As of today it brings everything to the table that you need for reliable web services. The performance and memory safety are the biggest selling points for me.

I like Rust and use it often, but the learning curve is steep. Go can be learned in a week.

But it pays off. With do you can spend more time on chasing data corruption bugs with Rust you spend more time (initially) on learning it.
