I don't really get what hub does, it's just a wrapper around some git commands + a CLI to github right? What is this 'context.rb' doing that somehow can be sped up by moving to Go?
I have the feeling that the sort of thing Hub is what Ruby's supposed to be good at, and Go not particularly. So the move sounds a bit strange to me.
Anyway, super convenient for them that a Go port already existed, obviously the move makes sense when the source is already there and it has the features and performance characteristics they desire, not to mention dropping the dependency on Ruby.
