Go made choices that makes it a good language to be compiled to. Compilation-wise: it's incredibly fast and compiles to static machine binaries. Runtime-wise: it has great concurrency and communication primitives.
Interesting. What I've heard about Google Go is that the design choices make it very difficult to implement a repl in. So I would expect any other language that compiles to it to be subject to the same limitation, making it a rather poor fit for a Lisp... but maybe I'm missing something?
