Nope. There is nothing that forces Googlers to either use or promote Go.

If it's the best tool for the job, why not? They keep using and promoting Java despite Oracle suing their pants off over it.

Google is a very big and diverse organization, I'm sure there are some that do promote pretty much every language you ever heard of (and many you didn't).

Actually, I remember some years ago reading about some Googlers that used C#, no clue what for, and it was a while ago, but it is not unrealistic.
