> If I'm going to not-javascript, then I think the answer is to go to something that is completely type safe and static, instead. I'd really like to be able to write-once-and-run-desktop-and-browser. I used to do C++, and now there is Emscripten, but I'd really rather not get back into C++ again. I agree completely, about type safe, static types, and not wanting to get back to the mess of C++ (header files, makefiles, ifdefs, complexity, etc.). Which is why I think Go fits the bill so well. > Go looked interesting, and there seems to already be a fair amount of work towards transpiling to JS. There is indeed. I've already done quite a lot with it, but with smaller side projects for now. That's where I gained the confidence and I will work towards applying it to my main projects now.

You can look at the latest code, it's all in a single main.go file, and it runs great in the browser.
