I know a lot of people are currently interested in Go. But from an educator's perspective I see little benefit in promoting it at this time. While it has some following in the commercial world its not huge (yet?). Check indeed.com for example and compare to others.

Also, from a linguistic perspective I think some of Go's omissions are important. I think students should be exposed to a full set of OO features. While Go may have its niche in the commercial world, I think a well grounded Python+Java+C developer should be able to pick it up.
