Do you consider missile guidance systems hard real time requirements?

As a language I am not a fan of Go, but on the context of using strong type languages in embedded scenarios. I think the less C the better.

Just like JavaScript JITs, it is always a matter how much companies are willing to invest to improve the quality of the existing eco-systems.

That's a virtual machine specifically designed for this kind of thing.

So sure, if you want to use go syntax and build a completely new runtime designed for use in real time systems then go ahead.

As for strong typing in embedded scenarios Ada's been doing that for decades.
