I believe he is referring to the fact that you cannot write a lib in Go that you link into a C application.

Note that this is not just a matter of Go's GC and runtime requirement, but simply the fact that they do not support cdecl / stdcall conventions.

There are plenty of garbage collected languages that can be linked into a C program (Lua, Python, even Haskell) - you just have to make extra calls to start-up the runtime.
