You're still going to need to recompile, because Go programs are all statically linked. Replacing the imports is pretty easy, though - because Go is so draconian about certain elements of formatting and style (including restrictions on imports), it's relatively straightforward to migrate code like this. (The 'go fix' tool is an even better example of the power that such an opinionated compiler provides as its tradeoff)
