Go is a terrible replacement for real time systems. While newer go has a much better garbage collector, it still isn't 100% deterministic. Most real time systems are written in C / C++ / Systems Verilog (FPGAs) / etc. I've once seen it written in a special java where the internal core sys (garbage collection) jars were overridden to disable gc entirely. Once the JIT was primed and ready to go this was exceptionally good and was fast as heck. If go is killing anything, it is killing Ruby and it is seriously cutting into the server side stuff written in node. In my experience, Go is a nice fit right in the middle between C and Python. The best part of it is probably that the language spec is so short any developer can read it all and memorize it. As more and more stuff uses Go due to its overall simplicity and sensibility, some java stuff will suffer for sure.
