We didn't want to use javascript, @dantheman. We wanted to use go so we could integrate it on the back end and achieve more than a superficial integration. Since you wrote graphene in C++ I'm sure you know what I'm talking about regarding javascript vs actual systems programming languages like C, C++, java, go, or rust. Ain't no beef in the land of javascript by comparison. If you want beef, you've got to go lower level, and we wanted to build beefy steem integrations.

Please, don't tell me you think your js libs make it all okay, because I know that you know they don't.

Now that @baabeetaa has the answers he needed, we will be integrating on the back end, because @baabeetaa is a badass.
