I guess the question is whether Canonical and Google end up rewriting
the systems currently using Go in something else sometime down the line.

There are a lot of SMEs in London using Go as their core language. Their
enthusiasm stems, I think, from otherwise having to use C. None of them
have used or even heard of D (until I mention it to them in
conversation).
