I'd say go does have a future. I'm a long time php developer who switched over to ruby a while ago and I've to say that go is pretty nice, even coming from a ruby background.

The syntax might look weird in the first place, but once you get used to it, it's actually somewhat sexy, given the fact it's compiled and statically typed.

Since go has a very good solution for concurrency, compiling takes seconds and it's already adopted in a few well known companies besides google (heroku, canonical, shopify and more), I think it will gain even more traction (already under top 20 languages on github).

Plus: The standard library is very impressive and huge. You can build many different web apps and daemons without any external library involved.

I kinda miss class based inheritance tho.
