Rob Pike, one of the creators of Go, said so:
> Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++.[1]
I thought this was obvious, considering their initial approach to promote Go: "Go is a systems language". But now they abandoned the phrasing.

Ok, well they were wrong. How can something be a "system language" when it's garbage collected ? and if people learned anything from D you don't say "X is a replacement from C++" or your language will get bad rap.

By "system", I don't think they meant "kernel". I think they meant "non-user-facing program". Think server/batch programs, which are way too often programmed in C/C++ although they don't need to.
