Learning Go over C and Python - Programming On Unix

Hello, guys! Do you think it's worth choosing Go as first and only programming language when options like C and Python exist?

I really like the idea of learning C since like 95% of programs I use are written in it, it gives good foundations, simple and Unix-Way-ish.
My main concern about C is that most books only teach the language itself, but not real world application of it.

I really like the idea of learning Python since the rest of programs I use are written in it, has good modern literature and courses, simple (in another way).
My main concern with Python is that it seem overly "bloated" and hand holding. Some books I looked through explain fundamental things in completely opposite way the others do.

Is Go the middle ground of two? I see both camps really liking it as of ~2014, but recent comments are mostly negative like the developers gone wrong direction. Is it a promising language that is simple in both ways and Unix-Way-ish?
