I think it's more likely to replace Java. Especially i considering low level OS development where Go doesn't fit at all. Go may replace some higher level use in the longer term. I don't think there's any good UI sorry as of yet. Rust will probably displace a lot of C/C++ for new development at the systems level, and potentially higher in the stack.

Go is mostly seen in process systems, where it's been largely Java and C# the past couple decades.
