I don't know why you're being down voted. Your points are completely valid. Without Google's name behind it, Go would not have had all this hype around it.
Fanbois hate it when someone points at the flaws in their favorite language. I still cannot comprehend why. As much as I like Haskell and Standard ML, if someone pointed out their flaws (Haskell: lame module system, needing arcane hacks to selectively introduce strictness; SML: no open sum types, no applicative functors even when generative ones do not make sense), I would not take issue with that. Realizing our tools are not perfect is the first step to improving them.
I have nothing against Google, but their programming languages (at least, the ones that I know of), Dart and Go, are really mediocre and uninspiring. For all their bad reputation, Microsoft at least has F# and is indirectly involved in the development of Haskell. Even Microsoft's take at an objected-oriented language for the uneducated masses, C#, is much better than the Google- and Apple-endorsed alternatives (Java and Objective-C).
