 How do you write mobile apps in Go? 
 There are some ways [1], but I didn't mean that. I meant more generally Go as a programming language has that culture that's instilled in the initial Go documentation (and talks from Rob Pike...). 

1) While there are some libraries to do mobile UI in Go, they are not great, but often you deploy Go code onto mobile phones wrapped in another language. For example multiple lightning wallets include lnd, which is writen in Go.  
 We’re not comparing the same things. I agree Go is generally more lightweight, but it’s not often used for the same kind of software. 
 I'm comparing the DRY ideology that's heavily applied in the JavaScript and npm world to the Go ideology pushed by Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.
