I did misunderstand your point, though I don't find this one more compelling. While Java has more features than Go, the only one I would consider to be "more powerful" would be generics.
> The concurrency supposed to be the killer feature, but it is limited to specific cases.
How do you figure? To which specific cases is it limited? How is Java better?
> BTW: The Go is not subset of Java if anything it's very similar to Algol-68
My argument wasn't that Go is most similar to Java; only that Go's featureset is almost a strict subset of Java's. Go gives you tighter control over memory and a better concurrency story, but most of the rest of it looks the same.
