Can I write Particle firmware in golang?

[sravanjosh]

Is golang supported to write particle firmware?

If not any plans to support in near future?

No you can’t and no plans to my knowledge but there are currently efforts to get Rust supported. See here if you wish you contribute.

Rust on Particle: call for contributors

Any language that can compile to an object file, and linked with the rest of the C++ code could be used, but this would be a community effort to build this. There are no plans on our radar at present to support other languages other than Rust.

@LukeUSMC, @mdma Thanks a lot for your replies. I am yet to learn Rust, but I foresee it as a huge advantage.
