I adore Go, but it seems to be impacted too: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/dRtDK7WS78g

Filippo Valsorda(FiloSottile), who is the maintainer of Go's cryptography libraries said on Go's slack channel that the patch is unrelated.

This is almost certainly a different bug. I don't believe Go's standard library uses OpenSSL.
You’re right re: implementation —- I’m drawing a conclusion solely from the coordinated disclosure that it’s a similar crypto/TLS issue.

If the Go issues were distinct I’d imagine they’d choose a different day to disclose/release?

I think it's just a funny coincidence. That's going based on what I know about the OpenSSL one; I don't know anything about the Go one. We'll find out!

Indeed, it doesn’t sound like a coincidence.
