Ugh, but Go is slow compared to Java and it's missing a lot of features.

Why not something like Mono? It's faster than their current Dalvik/ ART VM and it would allow for many more languages to be used natively than just Java or Go.

The last time I looked, Mono was in an even more precarious legal situation than Harmony, but who knows? Since Google is already paying Microsoft, they might just work something out.
