If anything, Go's popularity has been driven primary by (entirely earned) Ken Thompson hype.

Seriously? Every time I heard someone mention Go, they linked it to google to make it sounds as big as possible.

Seriously! When I first started hearing about Go, it was always in the context of Ken Thompson's new language (that he wrote while working at Google).

Yes seriously. Ken Thompson's involvement in it is mentored, often exaggerated, in just about every introduction piece I see about it.

And to be brutally honest, its the only reason I initially even gave it a glance.
