Well done. The ease of use and high quality of the Go SSH libraries (golang.org/x/crypto/ssh) is a killer feature of Go, imho. Also, there is a high level abstraction, github.com/gliderlabs/ssh, which makes it completely trivial to embed an ssh server into an application, giving you a nice way to inspect counters and flip feature flags and tuneables.
