Great idea! Now how drunk do I need to get Systems so they will actually install Go on our servers? Because I'm sure that they would just love giving several thousand students, staff, and faculty the ability to run arbitrary machine code!

If you can't let arbitrary machine code run on your system, you are "doing it wrong." *nix was designed as multi-tenant from the get-go. also, they would not need to install Go on the servers, as the binaries are completely self-contained.

I'm pretty sure you can write rm -rf / in PHP just as easily as Go.

Also does your university not provide a C compiler to their students? I'd be shocked of that were the case.
