I would rather people called it an application programming language. It relies heavily on it's runtime, and I've yet to see a piece of go code running on bare metal that isn't a hack or a proof of concept. However, I've seen multiple applications that rely on the OS to have nice abstractions over low-level inter-computer IPC (ethernet, tcp/ip).
