I wish they'd invest in Go for the frontend. If a project like GopherJS can get as far [1] as it is now with just 1 person working on it for a few months, imagine if it had more support. And then you could use a language as nice as Go for both frontend and backend. [1] https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs#what-is-supported https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs#what-is-supported

Yes, I totally echo this sentiment - Javascript has the traction and the stability to be a good transpiler target. That Google is actively trying to push both Dart and Go simply makes no sense for me, especially since Dart is supposedly (as far as I can tell with half a degree in googling) aimed at frontend work more-so than Go but at the same time seems to come with even more complex language structure than Go..
