I think I get confused, google had/has some transpilers/compiulers and other web tools that were based on Java and Java tooling.

  You were probably thinking of GWT and/or Closure-Compiler

    Side note: it really pisses me off that Google picks language and tool names that have really poor SEO and are often names for existing CS concepts. Go and Dart have terrible SEO, and Chrome and Closure already mean something in their fields. Drives me nuts.

      When it was first announced, I complained about "Go" and someone said it provides an interesting challenge for the search engine team. (There are lots of synonyms.) I find that searching on "golang" generally does the trick.
