Edit; that just my impression, I'm not a Go user. Basically it, I think. Go is the logical evolution of the Limbo language used to write native applications for the Inferno OS, itself evolving from Rob Pike's research with Alef and Newsqueak. The direct heritage spans at least a couple of decades, intermingled with the Plan 9 toolchain and interfaces.
