I agree that Go from Google will stay close to the ideals of the 
creators. I think it would be difficult get beyond that for 
social reasons.

But I think the mechanics Go provides are generic enough that 
someone could build a transpiler providing more high level 
convenience. I am thinking along the lines of a convenient 
language that can compile to both Go and Javascript... I'm 
tempted to have a go at it. ;)

Go UK sounds interesting. I wonder if they will have one in Oslo? 
Probably not :-/.
