Recently ive learned GoLang after saw its a pretty powerful language and easy to learn. It will be good too see some (complete) emulators on other language like Python, nodejs ... So, someone can tell me if GoLang is a good alternative for make an emulator from scratch ?

Go is amazing because of its memory-safe requirements on compilation. But if a developer for the retro was obsessing with speed benchmarks, Go is severely behind C++ on multi-threading and will remain to be.

From a different point of view; the speed that really matters is how good you scale, which Go excels at!
