>I find that statement hilarious considering that it was explicitly one of the design considerations[1] for Go.
That doesn't mean much, if anything. One of the design considerations for Java was "write once, run everywhere" and that didn't turn out that well either.
Most languages make failed or semi-failed promises.
And their idea of addressing software development at scale, might not be 2015's idea of doing the same.
Aside from Google, most other teams I've read using Go are more often than not writing small or medium-sized services, no big applications or highly complicated stuff.
