- raverbashing 13y agoWell, maybe they will come with a better Google Closure in Go Because Google Closure Compiler is unbelievably slow
- BMorearty 13y agoWhat's the point of starting anything new, when something like it already exists? Why become a doctor when there are already good doctors? Why write a book when there are already good books? Why sing a song when somebody else already sings it better?
- Goranek 13y agoBy putting in the context the amount of money and number of one of the best programmers in the world building a V8, building a Go V8 alternative is probable not a best business choice unless you're a huge company with clear goals

- alecthomas 13y agoAt least two concrete reasons: 1. No cgo required. 2. Portable to any platform Go runs on that V8 doesn't.
