Not to mention that Go is never going to put C code in the standard library for anything portable. It's all Go or assembly now.

Which is the right approach, and one of the areas I actually appreciate the work of Go authors.

There is nothing special about C, other that its historical availability after UNIX's free beer came to be.

Any combination of high level + Assembly is enough.

It's amusing to see assembly considered more portable than C.

No, portable code is written in Go, not C. Platform specific code is written in ASM.
