If Go is really designed for large code bases, then IDE support for go with code browsing, refactoring, debugging and profiling would be developed in parallel with the Go language itself.

Since Go IDE support go only as far as petty Vim and even pettier Emacs modes, I couldn't call go "made for large codebases".
