Go certainly has a very focused marketing effort.

They even have branding best practices and so on.

Of course, Google, being an advertisement company, has a lot of know how in that area.

Too bad Go is being held back by Rob Pike's ego, in my opinion.

What's so bad about Rob's ego? If you want a language by people who say yes! to everything, we already have C++ and C#.

You can have lots of expressivity without having that many features. But go has neither, and things like no operator overloading just plain sucks when dealing with vectors, for example.
