I believe, Kubernetes was initially built in Java. Its codebase reeks of Java for miles even today. I'm pretty sure that porting it back to Java wouldn't be too hard, should Google discontinue Go. Pretty sure Internet and cloud will not go anywhere if Go vanishes tomorrow. Even if you need containers, there are plenty of tools that don't use Go, and give you similar service. I've lived enough to see technologies with humongous popularity die in a matter of years (eg. Flash). Those who didn't believe Flash would die made very similar arguments about how certain things would be "impossible" w/o it. Not sure who am I quoting here, but there's this saying that "cemeteries are full of indispensable people".
