No, not just like. You're downplaying significant differences between the two that do in fact matter. So much so in fact, that you're just wrong. Stop spreading misinformation.
Go use cases overlap the most with Java. I think the reputation you mentioned comes from Google using a lot of C++ for high-level things others would likely do in Java, so they see Go as a replacement for C++ in some areas. (assuming you meant C++ not C)
