My impression (and I wish I could find the article I'm thinking of that talks about why this is) is that Go has largely failed at being a better C, but has convinced some people that it's a better Python.
As a Python developer, I don't think many Python people consider it a "better Python". It's much less expressive than Python. Python developers are sacrificing a lot of things, but they're keeping simplicity and extreme readability, and gaining massive performance gains.
A "Python-y modern C" would be a better description.
"I was asked a few weeks ago, "What was the biggest surprise you encountered rolling out Go?" I knew the answer instantly: Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++."
