You forgot D. In a world where D exists, it's hard to understand why Go needed to be created. Every critique in this post is not an issue in D. If the effort Google put into Go had gone on making D better, I think D today would be the best language you could use. But as it is, D has had very little investment (by that I mean actual developer time spent on making it better, cleaning it up, writing tools) and it shows.
