Do you think it makes sense to try to learn TDD on a language you don't know ? So let's say I want to pick Go (as a hobby, not for a particular professional need in the short term), would it make sense to try doing some TDD on my first smallish applications ?

I don't think there is anytime not to try to learn it. It will be harder the more unfamiliar you are with everything else (language, libraries, domain, etc...)

Why not? It's nice to make a fresh start, as with a new language you will not fall into your old habits so easily.
