All good choices I'd say. I'm a Laravel developer and managed to pick up Go in about 2 weeks. In 2 weeks I migrated a slow PHP script to Golang and put it in production, where it now performs amazing. It's really fast and the memory usage is so low that I often don't see it in the memory management tools. Seeing as you come from PHP as well, it might be a great option for you as well. It can do what PHP does, but faster. It also has a lot of other usagew, because you can compile it to a binary and drop your self containing program anywhere (with the right architecture) and run it. It's something that has helped me and might also help you.

Same story :), Using go, some benefits such as no data type related bugs, performant binary, readability for other developers...
