It's a myth that go is faster than java. Uses less memory, yes, but it's about the same speed in real world applications. I also would not call it a system language since it doesn't give you fine grained control over memory like rust, C or C++ give you, which is necessary to build an OS or anything with some sort of time guarantees, like audio drivers.
Also the guy is showing his lack of experience with a bunch of these languages, and doesn't talk about build speed or how IDEs & indexers handle large code bases or how well build speed scales. It's an infamous problem with haskell for example and he doesn't mention it once.
