I've always thought of Go as Google's Java 1.4.

  Not really, more like Java 1.1. Java 1.4 already had much more features and library offerings than Go still lacks.

    The Go standard library is top notch, especially for networking.

      Might be, but it is a tiny portion of Java's standard library, including networking, even when comparing against Java 1.4, let alone 10.
