I'm really interested in finding some articles about Go language and its main differences with others, for non-programmers i mean.

May it enter on the same league as Haskell, Erlang?

I would highly suggest watching Rob Pike's [1] talks [2] on youtube about Go.

Well it is high performance like Haskell and has easy concurrency like Erlang, but both of those languages are considered by many to be hard to read and write without a lot of ramp up time. Go is very easy for anyone familiar with a C family language to write and read and tends to have very straight forward and maintainable code.

many thanks to you both :)

After watching the presentation of GO what I understand that it's more about the sintaxis reduction and being practical as much as the programmer can when writing code as well, of course, many other things. But Go seems to be the perfect language to write and maintain projects.
