Go port to the AVR architecture?

Question

Ever since I heard about google's new language Go I wanted to use it for microcontroller programming. In particular Atmel AVR micro-controllers like the Atmega series. Is there a Go port for this architecture?

Answer 1

No there is not. See http://golang.org/doc/install.html

Go compilers support two operating systems (Linux, Mac OS X) and three instruction sets. (amd64, 386, and arm (a.k.a. ARM))

Answer 2

I do not thinkg that the purpose of Go (multi-core/highscalability) goes well with mikrocontrollers.

Go ask yourself why C (and even assembly) is preferred over C++ on micro controllers.
