yeah. I love Go and I enjoy javascript. For completely different reasons, and many of the things I love about Go I hate about JS, and vice versa.
It's either an incredibly minority viewpoint, or an incredibly silent majority, though. I think partly because it neatly divides along Static vs Dynamic religious war lines.
I'm going to be really interested in writing some front-end code in Go, just like I was interested in writing some back-end stuff in Node. But I have the feeling that I'll quickly revert back to writing the backend in Go and the frontend in JS. Not out of tradition or tooling, but purely because they've been designed/evolved as better languages for those roles.
