I've used a lot of Java and C#, and a decent amount of Go. I'm not sure I would call Go inferior. The design goals were different. I'm also not a language wonk, so maybe that's why I enjoy the relative simplicity of Go. The developer loop of code, run, code is very fast, and the standard library is good out the box. I just want to write code and get stuff done. To that end, Go is another capable, workman type language (like Java or C#).
