Go didn't help specifically, it is just that this package makes support for the ARM SHA instructions available for Golang.

Also Go has support for using assembly in a package natively, not all languages/build tools support that as easily.

Back when compilers were sold, the professional version always had an assembler in the box.

In MS-DOS even BASIC compilers like Turbo Basic could use inline Assembly.
