Go: Planning the 1.5 release
Per
http://golang.org/s/go14android
, apps that don't need the Android UI (e.g. if it's only using OpenGL) should not need Java and could be written in pure Go.

In fact, there's a user on Reddit that built an entire Android app with a UI using a webview:
https://github.com/MarinX/godroid
and

It's entirely possible right now — we just need it to mature.

Webview != pure Go, which is what the OP was asking for.

My point was that even apps that
do
need a UI can be written without Java using Go.
