But that's not it, really, I want both Go and the ELF capabilities :-)

I am willing to apologise if that is how it's perceived, but the
intent is not to insult anyone, but rather to extend the Plan 9

a great extent and something I would dearly like to retrofit to Plan
9.  Getting Go in the bargain is an exciting side effect.
