No. You can use the Go bindings to Rust's regex library where the regex library is compiled with `rustc` (llvm based) and your host program, written in Go, is compiled with the standard Go compiler, which is not llvm based.
This works because the Go toolchain knows how to link with objects exposing a C ABI and the Rust toolchain knows how to provide said objects. There is no particular dependency on llvm here.
