The language is very simple which makes developing it with a team much simpler. Everyone writes code the same way, because for the most part there's one right way to do things, which makes code review a lot easier.
For the most part, the build process is very simple, no "dll hell".
Very stable API. With the Go 1 promise, code written 10 years ago still just works.
Others mentioned the statically linked binaries. That's huge. We compile a binary targeting Linux, throw it in s3, that gets pulled to production. Whole thing just works. No dependencies.
