I was surprised as well, until I saw that. The npm/gulp/bower/less/node stack is pretty awesome for full-stack web development. All in one language, all open source, easy-breezy package management. If Go had that sort of complete stack (and for God's sake a package manager to rival npm), I'd probably be pushing Go as hard as possible at work.
As it stands, there's way too much friction and it would cost a LOT of money to invest in Go. There's a good chance that the ecosystem may not evolve to Node's level for years - and worst of all, if you want to build competitive web apps, you still can't avoid Javascript.
