The fact that you mention Go, an 11-year-old language, alongside a 27-year-old, a 51-year-old and a 28-year-old language proves that it has succeeded.

Then so has Ruby, Haskell, Erlang, and a bunch of other languages that espouse virtues completely contrary to Go. So I'm not sure what your point is?

Also you didn't even get my point because I explictly contrasted Go, as a niche language, with the big languages that most things are written in.
