The unsafe parts, surely not. That's not entirely the point though. Dropping a dependency on C is a big deal in Go: faster calls, no CGO means faster builds and static binaries. Go also let's you hand-write assembly and link it in, usually for performance reasons, which very much lacks safety guarantees, but has proven to be incredibly useful for optimizing hot code paths.
