I wonder if GO can be used as a new front-end language, i.e., replacing javascript. The fast compile times certainly would make it feasible to compile the code at runtime in the browser and then execute in a sandboxed environment.
He says it would be impractical for other browser vendors to keep up with the sprawling mess of APIs required by NaCl known as Pepper. Also Google's behavior around it's open source but not open standard tech like NaCl and Dart leaves a bad taste.
THAT was the question people kept asking Pike at conferences. and his answer to the question is "yes, we would like to see that happen too".
and i hope Google is listening. i mentioned in many comments before, i just see it there, unlike Dart.
i am not ignoring the hard work behind Dart or anything, but it's just my feeling that i wouldn't personally move from Javascript to something that just looks like Java. Javascript to Go or Python? definitely.
