Well, you may have seen the giant "Site-wide alert" banner. Yeah, one of my servers was hacked - no, no user data was breached. Only internal files and a copy of the blog files(I had a backup) alongside some server logs were lost. Now, onto the main point - Go; After the hack I couldn't determine what part of the code was vulnerable or was exploited and thus decided to rewrite it from scratch. Now just doing PHP again would be boring, so... GoLang! GoLang is the perfect match, it's ~3X more efficient - and best of all a language I've never used before; So a new experince too! After the rewrite is finished you should see at least a halfing of the response time.
