Anything + Go's runtime is a reasonable language.

Go's runtime is one of the greatest pieces of software ever built.

Assuming this works - which self-hosting guarantees a minimum level of "working" - this is useful!

I didn't want to rely on the unpredictability of a garbage collector, so I chose to build my own runtime, but it's not going to be as good as Go any time soon.

"I could have made that!"

"Yes, but you didn't."

Yes, somebody has to actually do it, and they did.
