It would certainly help me, as I have a bunch of developers writing Go packages and apps for embedded targets. That said, I don't know if Go is really mature enough. I've just been working through a pretty significant bug in the Go 1.7 runtime that makes it unusable when linked as a shareable library, for instance. Any reason why more of meta-golang couldn't be integrated into this patch set, though? I've been looking over what's in oe-meta-go and meta-virt, and most of the patches i put into meta-golang to have already been pulled in there. And go.bbclass looks like a subset of meta-golang's golang.bbclass. Whether it's pulled into OE-core or a common layer hosted at git.yp.org, it would be helpful to synthesize a common base for Go support. I'd be willing to help that.
