So, don't have all the context... but it sounds like you are implying Haskell libraries can't be a "high-performance rocket" when paired with C whereas Go can? That sound right? Hope so, because it's the assumption my comment below responds to.

What about libraries which take this approach such as bytestring]0], aeson[1], attoparsec[2], and binary[3]?
