That's not exactly fair. Go implements a runtime, GC, etc. all of which Clojure inherits from the JVM or the JS implementation.

That's a "trueism". However, the CLOC was on the Go part of the repo. Go's GC isn't implemented in GO.

Isn't the runtime implemented in Go since 1.5? A quick overview of the C content[0] shows that the C source in Go is mostly cgo (either test cases or the runtime integration[0]) and the shootout C sources (for bench tests?).
