IMO Go is a spiritual sequel to Java. Both strongly focus on programming for multiple platforms by large teams.

I don't think that go puts as much emphasis on cross platform.

It's the spiritual successor for Java running on servers - supporting Linux and OSX is all that's necessary.

Why OsX? Just for local development purposes? I don't think I've seen any OsX servers except as build machines for iOS builds.

Yes.
