Admittedly, my understanding of the problems you describe is superficial at best. But it sounds like you are citing a rather narrow set of requirements (memory safety in network code where protection against exploitation is paramount) as a means to generalize that Go is overall not a good language and should be avoided in new code. I don't think that's fair. As with everything, it may be not suitable for the scope you outlined, but it evidently has its place in a multitude of other uses.
