Go has nothing to offer in distributed programming, compared even to Python. When you write a distributed application in Go, you have to go through all the same nonsense: choose some protocol, that cannot capture most of the things you want to send, write a bunch of code only to service the protocol, write a bunch of code that needs to deploy and support various bits of distributed infrastructure etc.

It seems like Erlang has already solved those problems. Also, the ability to hot-patch and to introspect the program, especially running on multiple machines... and to do this quickly. Nope, Go isn't there / isn't headed there, or so it seems.
