Dare to dream big!
If only people would not willfully ignore the implicit "at Google" or "for Google" that a lot of things said about Go carry. Go may be a terrible language from the PLT POV, but it's meant to solve problems Google has.
They won't stop, they will only pause... so that they can spend some time bickering over whether or not lack of generics makes Go unusable.
