I don't know how you got from "debatable loyalty to Google" to "the language was mostly inspired by Bell Labs tech, rather than Google", which is perfectly fine. But it doesn't explain your animosity and refusal to discuss based on technical merits, rather than just (what is clearly) axe-grinding.
Note that Go ended up being a major language within Google for a wide range of systems (even replacing systems built previously by the Go developers, such as sawzall), so rather than saying "debatable loyalty to google", might it not be better to say that the developers worked to transform Google from the inside to be less dependent on C++ and Java?

I retract "debatable loyalty to Google". I meant something more along the lines of "debatably attributable to Google's engineering", i.e. a statement directly in support of my main argument.
