Funny you should ask :) I'm best known for my article criticizing Go's design. I think Go is a reactionary language; it says "To hell with the last 30 years of language research; we want the good old K&R days back!" while making a few token admissions to progress (like good green threading). In reality, this approach eliminated everything that made C elegant (C is universally compatible with basically all Von Neumann computers, and Go certainly isn't) without actually taking advantage of 99% of the progress we've made. I'd hardly say Go has many of the "best parts" of other languages.
