Long ago I once had a similar architecture (i.e. javascript generates C, compiles it to a .so, and signals a server to dlopen-load it) working, but because the server was written in C, doing live communication with a js frontend (and also initialization of audio and midi libraries) was kind of a pain in the ass. Go may not be the holy grail of low-level programming languages, but it does at least give me (a) json parsing (b) http and websocket serving (c) nicely wrapped libraries for portaudio and portmidi, and (d) enough syntactic sugar for basic data structures like hashes that I don't want to stab myself implementing polyphony and sustain-pedal semantics.
