That's true, but guess what, Google still uses C++ and Java for the vast majority of its critical infrastructure. So even at Google, C++ and Java reign supreme at handling "Google scale". And it's not surprising really, the maturity, performance, tooling, etc. available for Java and C++ are far superior to what golang has to offer. Not to mention both being far better languages than golang (even with how complex C++ is). golang is a weak language not suited for modeling complex domains.
Secondly, golang was developed by some employees at Google, not Google itself. And if it weren't for the brand name behind it, it would have gone nowhere.
