Good analysis, I largely agree.
Then again, you hear about Microsoft or Sun/Oracle passing notes to the NSA about insecurities in the OS or JVM so that they can go about their stealthy ways. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened with Go. But good point, it's open source.
There is also an issue with Go dependencies that may make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities. The solutions are discussed here: http://kylelemons.net/blog/2012/04/22-rx-for-go-headaches.article http://kylelemons.net/blog/2012/04/22-rx-for-go-headaches.ar...
