From my personal experience I made the switch from .Net(later Java) to Python and I worked with a legacy codebase where I saw patterns which were hard to grasp and a compiler would have definitivly complained.
OTOH I would like to see Go more in education. Although I dislike the language for $reasons, I clearly see the upsides of being elegant, fast to learn, general purpose and a nice take on structs and interfaces which mostly makes the student fall into the pit of success.
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.

But I am going too offtopic 😉
