I was around for the Java vs. Smalltalk keruffle. I have to say that Go is less hype and more good, pragmatic design than Java. Go also started out with quite respectable speed and a pleasant development experience, which wasn't true for Java.
Also, as for a "huge amount" of corporate support, if we see the equivalent of "Enterprise Java Beans" then I'll concede that Go is "another Java."
Similar to Java: The barriers to outreach are small because the language is in many ways familiar. I think that's a wise and pragmatic choice.
