Developing a storage layer as elaborate as RocksDB from scratch is quite an endeavor, and wanting to just use RocksDB instead of making your own is a smart decision. From there, Go is sort of easy to throw out of the picture: using cgo kills performance and safety. I say this as a person who uses Go as my workhorse, have used it for many years and has a favorable opinion of it.
