> Go starts to falter compared to Haskell.

Not just Haskell, but any mature OO language/runtime as well (JVM, .NET). The fact remains that golang is popular because of Google's name behind it. While its concurrency model is somewhat decent, its warts get in the way very quickly for any non-trivial project.

what do you define as non-trivial? I'm aware of a number of companies and projects that are definitely more than non-trivial.

I think Java/C# are verbose and ineffectual languages and people are seeking alternatives that make a lot more sense and deliver more power and speed.
