Functional Reactive Programming as demonstrated by React, React Native and Flux appear to be game-changing technologies for web development as well as native app development for both Android and iOS.
While investigating these technologies, I came across the Elm Programming Language and was impressed by the simple web app model and the idea that a single language could provide all the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript necessary to create a full web application. I read through the tutorials and examples and although I'm a big fan of functional programming languages, it dawned on me that with the advent of GopherJS, I could do all this in Go.

There are a number of reasons for using Go:
- Go is easy to read and understand,
- goimports (and its integration with text editors) is fantastic,
- if your code compiles, chances are good that it is correct, and
- Go makes programming fun again.
