A really big and popular platform where Go isn't officially supported yet is the web (browser).

I'm trying to push that direction as much as I can by contributing to GopherJS [0], which is IMO our best bet until wasm [1] comes out and has adds support for GC languages [2].

I agree the rest of the platform support is absolutely fantastic. We have the big 3 desktop OSes, as well as iOS and Android already. But so much of what we do today is on the web, and I don't want to keep using JavaScript or to keep crossing the Go <-> JS boundary inconsistencies. That's not the kind of future I want to invest in.
