Abrams is the author of the Go Netlink library, and participates in an interesting conversation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14470231 (as `vishvananda`, it's the top comment).

Many of the things the commenters discuss there are intricate. It's a lot of people who've worked on container runtimes and the issues relate to the interaction of Go with POSIX process and thread semantics. Go is not really intended to have transparent, finely controlled integration with C systems stuff...while Rust is.
