Ryan is considering the option. For now this Go version is served as more of a demo for examining the idea

Yes I think so. I have a private branch that is exploring snapshotting + better build system only in c++, I think that might become the core system where the message passing between V8 and the outside world can be unit tested. Once that's working I will experiment with binding to Rust.
The reason for not using Go is that it has a rather complex runtime - including a GC. Although I haven't experienced any problems with that yet, it's not hard to imagine that down the road that might clash badly with V8's very complex runtime.
