The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection.

It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

Go features:

• Go offers some great concurrency primitives and makes it extremely easy to implement a concurrent system. Go supports this at the language level and concurrency is a first class citizen. The fundamental unit for this in Go is a go routine.
• Go is a relatively simple language and was designed with a very minimalistic approach.
• Go's compiler is super fast. It is easily possible to compile a large Go program within a few seconds. The fact that the language syntax is so simple means that compilation is much quicker. The language was designed to be easily parseable without a symbol table.
• Go has a batteries included' philosophy, and many requirements of a modern programming language are baked into the standard library, which makes programmers' lives much simpler.

Go is indeed good for system-level programming as it exhibits many similarities with system programming languages like C and as it was designed to keep this in mind.
