I'm not going to comment on remarks comparing Go and Java, there are certainly many places where Go is way behind although Go is simply not designed as an "all-terrain vehicle" like Java is. However I will comment on your remark comparing Go and PHP: In 2018 the only reason to use PHP over Go is to save money on some prototype project. You want to test if your blog will catch on or if you can sell your shiny-product online? Sure use some existing PHP project (Magento, Wordpress, Drupal, etc.), hire some affordable PHP guy or team and you're good to go. (no pun intended) When it comes to building a new system to scale, there's nothing on the pro side for PHP other than somewhat cheaper devs of course. I'm saying that with about 15 years of PHP experience and having worked on non-trivial applications.
