You make it sound like it's crazy to want to run a Golang application on your desktop. Do you actually believe it's far-fetched for a user to have an app that's written in Go?

- AlphaSite 8y agoPeople don’t do it atm and there’s an argument to be made that supporting legacy OSes in future version of your language is a folly. If there was a huge base of go apps for legacy OSes then I’d see your point but there isn’t.
- pknopf 8y agoIt's not far-fetched, but I'd hate for the tools that I use to be anchored on such old/outed systems. I'm sure ie6/8 is still used somewhat in those countries as well. Should jQuery/React support them? You have to move on at some point. I'm sure India and China deal with issues similar to this across the board. They are used to it. They've coped. For example, there is a React clone that supports ie8 (forgot the name). Let them do what they do.
