I guess that's an interesting opinion to have. Is this based on having built your own desktop environment or some other project that led you to this conclusion?
For me I prefer higher level code and tooling wherever possible. Building this has been blazingly fast compared to previous window managers I have worked on.

exactly this.
go actually strikes a balance of being one of the few high level languages that can compile directly to binary. there are not many languages that can do that. common lisp, erlang, o'caml and maybe red are a few others that i am aware of. there are probably a few more that are less popular that i don't know.
for me high level implies at least automatic memory management and high level data types.
