I don't have much non-academic experience with Java but what is C# lacking that Go has? The reportedly fast compile times have me curious, Go is I think #1 on my list of new languages to learn.

Go applications don't use the CLR, just compiled binary. It's a lot more lightweight than C#. I'd use them for different things. Go is replacing Python for me in certain places.
.NET Native, CoreRT, IL2CPP.
It's more about what it doesn't have.
