I'm still a little confused after reading through the goals. It seems like there are a bunch of different unrelated goals:

  - better js/wasm support
  - "platform native sdk" (I don't know what this is)
  - cross platform GUI
  - Better FFI support
  - Kernel support
While all these goals seem cool on their own, they also seem completely unrelated. It makes it a bit hard to understand what this project actually is.

"platform native sdk" is the collection of apis exposed on that platform exclusively (think win32 apis, android ndk).

The project is to build a stdlib, and by its nature is to be used by developers to build applications just like the official Go std.
