Go was written to replace C++ and Java at Google, not Python. But after it launched many Python developers in SRE switched to Go- for good reasons. Initially it was a bit of surprise to the Go creators.
Python (fronting C++ code) still plays a huge role at Google. I don't see that changing. Go has almost zero story for scientific computing.
