Target the JVM

This would allow Go to leverage many third party libraries and environments (e.g. GAE)
and the JVMs 
GC and JIT capabilities.

Go seems like a serious effort to get away from the VM and JVM cliche that has
infected new programming languages for many years.    
But Go is poised to fill a niche that has remained mostly untouched, finally a modern
compiled system language.   If you want to UN-distinguish the language, then JVM is a
good way.

Comment 3 by HLKlaperman:

If anyone's interested, I've been working on a Go compiler that targets the JVM.  The
compiler itself is implemented in Scala, and the project is hosted on Google Code: 
code.google.com/p/jgo/

Despite my previous comment, this sounds interesting.   I will take a look when I get a
chance.  Go is still a system language, this would just be another alternative.
