As Bubba says, in what way is it not accurate?  You list 
corporate usage of Go and D, but his comment wasn't about that.

Also, is there a company like Sociomantic on that Go list, ie 
built on the language primarily and externally valued at a couple 
hundred million dollars?  Of course, Sociomantic could be a 
one-off special case and they're still on D1, but a bunch of 
corporate dabblers in Go doesn't say much.  You'd expect that of 
a simpler language that's currently hyped more.
