Go would be decent for applications asymptotically approaching web browsers if the user interface options were better. It&#x27;s UI library support that makes Go such a bear for desktop applications, not any fundamental property of the language.<p>In general, I find Go works really well for anything I would normally code in C in userland.<p>A better way to put it: if you can reasonably write it in Java, you can almost definitely write it in Go. Nobody calls Java a &quot;scripting language&quot;.
