If performance is adequate (say 1/3 of C, or 10x faster than Python), this is a big deal. It means we get a simple, nicely designed language with a great standard library, short development times, and small, performant binaries once compiled. Go on MCUs was out of question because of its runtime size. I'll keep an eye on this.
