Can beef that up with some arguments? The creators of Go are not ignorant, they just decided consciously to create a language easy enough for recent graduates to be productive quickly.
From a science point of view, the only valid reason why clojure cannot compile to Go is that nobody cared to implement that.[1] Well, either that, or the people who considered doing that realized that compiling a programming language to a Chinese board game is equivalent to using an abacus and abandoned the idea .... ;)
