The first class unicode support is one of the reasons that is big in China.

  It's a nice feature, but several other languages have that, including languages that directly compete with Go.

    Perhaps those languages also enjoy wider adoption in China than elsewhere in the world? Similarly, the software engineering industry has certainly advanced more rapidly in China than elsewhere in the world (as an artifact of China's rapid economic development), so their language adoption is likely skewed toward more recent languages (like Go).

      These are good points, but the bottom line is "we don't really know". So I'd caution against assuming the number is very high just because it fits our hopes.

        I agree, but I don't think anyone is assuming or hoping in this thread. Just speculating, which is what you do when "we don't really know". :)
