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)
