At quick glance, this appears to just be jruby with search-and-replace for "Ruby" to "Golang" in the README? Is this a troll repo or submission? Flagging.

>It aims to be a complete, correct and fast implementation of Golang, at the same time as providing powerful new features such as concurrency without a global-interpreter-lock

For anyone who makes the same mistake as me... this is an April Fools joke from 2021. The commits are all from April 1, 2021.

The rick-roll should have been a dead giveaway but...

Both the wiki and the website link are 404s.

I am curious how they handle interior pointers. This is a tricky feature that we've been wondering how to support in Wasm.

The entire commit history was from 1st of April. Just sayin'.
