Well, yeah, what fun is doing the same old thing?  I tasked a new 
programmer with a stand alone interface to see how he would perform. I 
didn't really expect to have a Go project in our source tree but so it 
goes. It joined the C, C++, C#, Fortran, Python, Java, and Javascript 
code. I'm not sure if it was ever deleted but there might even be some 
Tcl/Tk.
