Does this have anything in common with Go besides the language syntax? Is it binary-compatible with Go?

It seems to compile ("transpile") to Go, and then invoke Go compiler on the generated source. So I guess that would make it also binary compatible?

Briefly looking at source one can tell it just transforms Fo into Go and invokes go run
