It's not for performance reasons. I think you misread. Also the driver is pure go now:

Systems language is not only about performance. Where did you get that?

They never said that they had to use c because go is not a systems language, so your assertion looks wrong. They wanted to avoid using unsafe. In c everything is unsafe by the way, so it makes it less of a systems language?
