It's just interesting because Android seems to be much more "externally focused", as opposed to Go, which seems much more of "here's an internal tool you can use". Kotlin and the community version of IntelliJ came along _way after_ the Android toolchain was already available, and Google basically shifted gears and adopted it. Android Studio switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ, and Kotlin is now a default language. I just don't see that kind of change ever happening with Go. There's no "other voice". It feels like it's "Google with a few enthusiasts".
