After a quick look at the documentation, I immediately started to think about integration with existing languages and applications and was wondering whether support would be provided for Protocol Buffers?
A:
I'd be very surprised if there didn't exist a Protocol Buffers library for Go already internally. (I don't know for sure, and I'm not going to check as then it would be confidential :)
However, it's quite possible that it's a proto1 library rather than the open-sourced proto2.
I'm sure someone somewhere will port proto2 to Go, whether that's someone internal or external.

Rob Pike confirmed that there is at least one working implementation internally that should be released shortly, and that they are working on a new more high performance oriented version too.

All I can say is... yay! This is going to enable some amazingly quick and powerful stuff to be built!
