Go has a seriously good chance of becoming the language of choice for organizations which prefer to employ cheap code monkeys. As far as long-term career 'strategery' goes, specializing in Go development may be risky :) It's one of the few languages I've seen where a programmer can progress from novice to master in a couple of months because its features are few and its opinions strong. It's easy and fun to learn (it might make an excellent CS 101 language, actually), but spend enough time with it and you will grow to dislike it. That said, I do occasionally use it when I need to whip up a quick command line utility to do something simple :)
