Which features of Go would you say make it inherently more secure to use than php given the same developer?

1. That you do not require any part of Go (except the obvious ones that are inside the compiled binary) to exist on the live server.

2. That Go is designed as a programming language.

1. That would be an issue of environment configuration not language.

2. This is saying nothing. C is designed as a programming language but it's certainly possible to shoot your foot off with it as well. Go isn't going to protect you from using exec in a dumb way, or from unsanitized data by default, or by screwing up your file outputs.
