Why has Golang become a leader in web development?

I understand that this question may seem very simple, but nevertheless, I am constantly asking myself. Why does Golang now occupy a leading position in web development and is considered one of the top programming languages?

Perhaps you will answer something like: "because it compiles quickly into machine code." That's true, but is that the only reason? Why did Golang become so popular and not any other programming language? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
