"This isn’t a language for use in UIs or game clients, but it is an extremely competent language for making servers, infrastructure or parallel/distributed processing systems." Golang has a GUI tool kit: the "net/http" and "html/template" packages. While I personally hate EcmaScript with a passion, I have to admit every single GUI tool kit or windowing system I've worked with had serious fundamental design flaws not unlike JavaScript and the DOM. The entire scenario is not unlike the Tcl\Tk days. People will bitch and whine but will do so while using it until something better comes up.
