thank you for bringing that up!
I'd jump into Go right away if it wasn't for the WASM blob sizes. Go may have
comparable speeds to Java 7 and makes a lot of things much simplisticr to do, but
the WASM blob sizes are just insane. They'll address this in the upcoming
versions, but until then, I'll not look into it.
Once the day comes and a hello world goes below 800K (400K, ...), I'll
definitely look into it.
Cheers
