I think you nailed it. Consider they picked up Gosling for r&d I don't put championing their own future platform for all devices (you know Go is going to Android as part of the NDK or something by Android 4).

Isn't this what Sun basically did with Java? I don't know the incumbent they were trying to edge out or if it was just a "look at our cool tech" play.

Go seems like a C-esque version of python/ruby/java to me. A lot of very slick things in there. Lots of room to grow and a lot of community excitement.
