Nothing thats enabled in OE-Core depends on go yet, however, thats not
always the reason
for something to be in OE-Core, if you look out, you will see there is
no single layer for golang ( I see atleast 5 )
support, each one of them is done differently, some are better than
others depending upon what you need,
This causes a lot of confusion for users who have golang needs.
 golang is a fast growing language being adopted in verticals where OE is used,
This would offer a consolidated place for golang in OE ecosystem.
