So did Thompson have a big role in designing the GO language? (I've not read anything on GO for a few months so can't recall.) I thought it was someones 20% project. Is it easy to call existing C libraries with GO ? Is Go worth learning, I was thinking of digging into Clojure or some form of Lisp.

I can answer the second question. Yes, it's very easy to call existing C libraries from Go. http://golang.org/cmd/cgo/ http://golang.org/cmd/cgo/

It's hard to tell what Thompson's level of involvement is with Go. His level of public activity is lower than some of the other Googlers on the project, but who knows what's actually going on internally. Also, there is a small team working on Go full time (http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/msg/198b0b742d02b009 http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/msg/198b0b742d02b...).
