Retention. Also, I'd suggest that your average dev will learn Go quick enough to work on this router quicker than they'll learn Scala; I prefer Scala myself, though! It's a balance between proper tech choice, correct management choices moving forward, and dealing with management mistakes (like letting someone build the router in Scala when the rest of the team don't know it) from the past.
A crappy PHP dev will learn Go a hell of a lot quicker than Scala, IMO. A safer choice, for their team and position, IMO.
