I agree.
The Go std-lib is fantastic.
Also no dependency-hell with Go, unlike with Python. Just ship an oven-ready binary.
And what's the alternative ?
Java ? Licensing sagas requiring the use of divergent forks. Plus Go is easier to work with, perhaps especially for server-side deployments.
Zig ? Rust ? Complex learning curve. And having to choose e.g. Rust crates re-introduces dependency hell and the potential for supply-chain attacks.
