You cannot expect people to replace a language developed and polished over decades with one that barely hit version 1.0. Go is fun to write, has some good ideas, and is a little more readable (in idiomatic form) than C++. But it is new. Once Go has the necessary libraries, and has been thorough tested, then more people will look into it.
