Hi Nick! Thank you for contacting us!
AFAIK there are no Golang developers in the team :-/ And if you don’t have time to help with the maintenance then it would be hard. Something similar happened with the Rust SDK - it was donated and then it didn’t have maintainer for some time… I hope someone will raise his/her hand! I could help passively by reviewing and merging simple PRs but I don’t have plans to learn Goland for the moment.
