If we rely on their evidence alone, it suggests nobody has ever made a correct implementation, so we learn nothing about Go. "Go has yet to yield a correct one" is an extremely misleading way to present evidence that says the same thing about every language.

The only way this becomes useful for comparing languages is if somebody gives evidence of correct implementations in other languages. You're claiming they exist but with no evidence and suggesting they're secret. How do you know those don't have bugs? Did any concurrency bug experts do extensive testing on them? And can we disprove secret Go implementations of the same quality?
