I would go so far as to say Haskell is better.

But, then you gotta remember, "worse is better" (New Jersey style), and Go is worse. New Jersey style: (1) be simple in both implementation and interface (2) correct, be correct as long as it doesn't make it more complicated, simple is more important than correct (3) consistent, when you can be consistent, do be, but simplicity is more important and (4) completeness, be as complete as you can, but realize completeness can be sacrificed for any other objective.

I think C and Go share a lot of New Jersey style -- Go is great in simplicity (remember simple isn't easy). I think Go will continue to go quickly because of these attributes.
