Re: "Collaborative build servers"
@lufte: I think that the target platform is only needed for testing, if the language has good cross-compilation. Even here, Go has advantages. It compiles statically, which means that you don't care about which libraries are installed on the given target system. Probably the specific binary format is not that important. You might need to test on each bus width and endian architecture you target. That might be doable in some sort of emulation.

Collaborative build servers — Is there such a thing as a collaborative network of build servers? Let's say you write a native application and you can build it for your own machine's architecture, but you also want to build artifacts for other operating systems or architectures. You don't want to pay for multiple CI/CD servers, so you request time in other people's computers to do the building, and you offer your own computer's time in return so other people can run things on it.
