How are you then defining general-purpose?

I'd say a language is general-purpose when it has not been tailored to a specific scenario or area of problems, but to work well for most. Isn't that, to a great extent, true for go?

You can build a mobile app in Go, for both Android and iOS.

I didn't say you can't do it. I said, try to do it. The phrase "general purpose" must be stretched considerably in such a case.

Is there a language you _do_ consider "general purpose"?

Yes. More than one, actually.
