Took one of Tyler Treat's experiments and had it running within 30 minutes, no real previous Go build experience. The language itself? Meh. Python/Haskell/C/LLVM IR cover my use cases. I see Go as another wrapper on top of LLVM IR when it is convenient and that is it.

I thought go compiled to native directly? Does it use LLVM under the hood?

The official compiler doesn't. Then there's llgo [0] and gollvm [1].
