I do not understand how you and some other people seem to see a claim to be first in every feature a language ever says it has. Who is claiming primacy or uniqueness for almost any feature in any language ever? When has a Go designer ever claimed to be the first ones to implement a feature?
Programming languages have been largely just shuffling around features other languages have for the last 50 years now, and I can only go back that far because when you get back to the very first languages, they're unique and first by default. Even when a language is first to do something, it's generally only the first for a feature or two, because how would anyone even make a programming language that was almost entirely made out of new things anymore? Even if someone produced it, who would or could use it?
You seem to spend a lot of time upset about claims nobody is actually making.
