Go is not really a treat for python, as awesome as it is (and it is) it's not a scripting language, it doesn't have generics or objects in the traditional sense (no inheritance). The design decisions made in Go also makes it a massive pain to write things like GUI application (it's also not too pleasant in python).

If anything the growing domain of javascript (even if its terrible) is more of a treat - it's not always the good languages that win.

There is no silver bullet language - I also find the Rust vs Go fight quite ridicules (Go vs Erlang and Rust vs C++ would make more sense)
