I like Go a lot, but I feel that a viable toolchain that produces ELF files for Linux is also a worthy objective.
And getting the toolchain to produce Plan 9 executable code has already been done, albeit unchecked and about to be lost or forgotten on a server a long way from here. Still, I'd be thrilled to be able to cut my teeth on Go on Plan 9 rather than UBUNTU, so don't let me discourage anyone. I just want 9fans to know that I'm willing to do the slog work to keep the toolchains in sync and they shouldn't go out of their way to make my life unnecessarily difficult :-) ++L
