I believe Go will eat Objective-C's dessert ("general programming") in the "good things of C and [C related languages]" language category.
I would guess (but don't know the compiler) that Objective-C is a better choice than Go if you want more precise control over memory layout and specially management. But that feature is a PITA when you don't need such control and would much rather the language runtime take care of memory and GC.
