"It feels like a missed opportunity"

I agree with that. I think looking back on it, Go arrived on to the scene at a perfect time where lots of people were rearchitecting so there was lots of natural appetite in the industry for a new language. Go vacuumed up a lot of this opportunity but ultimately hasn't really evolved the practice of software engineering all that much.
