Basically it is a done deal.  Wherever Google and Canonical are and they
can replace C, C++, Python, Perl, etc. with Go, especially in anything
"cloudy" or "webby" they will be doing it.

Despite all the warts and irritants, Go clearly does make C look like a
1970s language that is past it's use by date except in some very
specific use arena, e.g. severely resource constrained systems where you
have to use assembly language but cannot abide the thought of using
assembly language.  Usually this means "embedded systems" where you have
maybe 32kB RAM and 10Mb flash — if you are lucky.
