I'd like to see a language that compiles to Go, but also to Javascript, so that code can run on both client and server without changes.

That language should not equal Go, because, honestly, some aspects of this language are quite strange: https://golang.org/doc/faq#nil_error

Note that that issue makes perfect sense, and the odds of it affecting you are very very very small. I've written a lot of go code, and have never been affected by it.
