There are so many motivations for this (and so many lisp&#x2F;go projects that are abandoned). This looks <i>very</i> promising and I hope it takes off.<p>A few of the motivations:<p>* A lisp with an amazing startup time<p>* A lisp that can tap into a big and vivid ecosystem, like Clojure is tapping into Java&#x27;s and its own<p>* Cross compilation and self-contained binary (I&#x27;ve personally  tried doing this with various lisps, and none of them <i>really</i> support it)<p>* Go as a platform is improving version by version and is very performant already<p>Another way to think of it - if only Clojure compiled to binary directly, then this would be pointless. Because chances of that happening are virtually zero, is why this project made my day.<p>Go is the assembly language of cloud infrastructure, just as Javascript is becoming yet another &quot;assembly&quot; language. I believe Go is perfect for this, because it is also simple (as opposed to ES6, for example).
