I think it has a very different timing than java. When java came out c++ was the standard and java was clearly easier (although slower). Go is not that much easier than java or c# and it is not much faster. I don't think the standard library is much better, or even better at all and when it was new it had a lot less 3rd party libraries. Go will probably continue to grow in usage a while but I'm not certain it will pass even c# in usage. I think there is too little to gain from rewriting java or c# code and for speed I think rust is better. We will see what happens the next 5 years or so.
