Go does have quite a few bindings that exist already for many commonly-used libraries (and some not-so-commonly-used). I'm pretty glad there are Lua bindings, for example. When Go makes more sense than C but Lua makes more sense than Go, I was kind of stuck until I discovered this.

Here is a listing I know of, this probably isn't comprehensive:

http://go-lang.cat-v.org/library-bindings



That is a list of wrappers for C libraries, there are even more pure-Go libraries:

http://go-lang.cat-v.org/pure-go-libs

And I maintain both pages, and I have to confess they are badly outdated because is hard to keep up with all the libraries that are being written.


The "Talks and Videos" page (http://go-lang.cat-v.org/talks/) is outdated as well. Here's my personal list:

I haven't 'diff'-ed these two lists but a similar listing of Go-related talks can be found on Go community's unofficial wiki: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/GoTalks


Nice, im worried that due to Go's young age the libraries might be a bit flaky or lacking, I could be wrong though.
