Python and Go are my languages of choice. I have found both share a the philosophy of less typing is more and more standard library is more. For web apps I have found Python has everything I can think of and more as far as third party libraries. Go package management and deployment once I got it I wondered how I could ever live without it.
1 - SQL is supported by Go specifically MySQL has a couple of drivers to choose from. After using sqlalchemy [1] everything else I have ever used just seemed like the dark ages.
2 - Go logging is standard and has been a couple third party options depending on your tastes. Tracing I think you mean stack is pretty amazing when my app crashes it is as easy to debug as any VM (JVM, Python VM or Ruby VM).
Python gives me a lot of choices based on the type of application I am building monolithic (DJango) or light (Bottle) and many package management and environment setup tasks (as with Rails, Java nightmares ect). Go on the other hand takes care of all the package management and environment setup almost non existent. YMMV good luck.
