This shows that Go does not work in specific scenario (32-bit architecture with fragmented adress space at startup). It says nothing about production readiness in other scenarios.

The above fact(s) missing from the documentation seem to indicate otherwise.

The inadequacy of the documentation has no impact on the production readiness in the scenarios where Go does work. As a comment above notes, Google is using Go successfully in production. We are also using in production.

Production ready != done.

Good enough is not the same as done. One data point does not define a trend.

Appengine+Youtube+<everyone-using-Go-in-production> isn't exactly one data point. Each independently is probably a ton of datapoints as services tend not to use one machine.

While it is a bummer, I'd argue that the OP is the one that does not define a trend.
