The system call interfaces on typical suckless operating systems are
language-agnostic. Go's syscall package doesn't wrap any C libraries, so
there's no indirection involved.
You missed the point. The core/alpha language is C, then coding
in anything else is an indirection.
That makes no sense at all. What exactly do you mean by "indirection"? What
exactly do you mean by "core/alpha language"? Because the way you make it
sound, it seems like you strive for a language monoculture for ideological
reason.
Suckless is a philosophy, not a dogma.
