No, Ada/Spark is an example of a good engineers language. Go is a mediocre effort at best. Rob Pikes defence is that it was designed for junior Googlers who "aren't capable of understanding a brilliant language". Yes that's a real quote.
What’s a brilliant language in this context
You'd have to ask Rob Pike. My own example of a brilliant language is Haskell, but it's not without problems.
Apparently anything that offers a type system beyond Go's.
