There was actually a person from an academic OS research team 
that wrote about adopting Go (probably changing it) for an 
experimental OS implementation. Someone on the Go team thought it 
was a good idea and also that they could do it using garbage 
collection... so well... I am not sure if they are sober about 
what Go is suitable for... ;-)

(but yes, they are no longer developing it as a system level 
language)
