Made by Google? Check.
Compiles to JavaScript? Check.
Totally a good name for a programming language? Fucking check.

GCC as such is fine, as long as you don't have to deal with the back-end too much.

The problem is rather that the GCC port is inofficial, and Golang keeps using their own, shitty C Compiler.

And as far as I can tell, the only reason the goland folks are using their own compiler is because "it's faster", not because it's more... you know, portable.

As said before, Go is, in this current state, a serious bitch to port to anything else than Linux.

Compilation speed was one of the big selling points of the language.

Also Google rolled their own linker for gcc too, they use it to build Chrome. Their reasons being that ld was too slow / used too much memory.

The real reason was that they wanted to hide a shitload of spyware everywhere.

Ian is the one Google developer I've had exchanges with who seems to have an ounce of humility.
