It's ironic that Golang.org is not accessible from Iran because of app engine.also several non proprietary repos like sourceforge. The only way to get go lang's source code is through github.
It is only a matter of time untill Microsoft decides to block github for Iranians as well.I don't know why github is not currently blocked but I would not be surprised if it gets blocked.

None of the Google developer-oriented resources are accessible from Iran. For example, you have to use a VPN to download Android Studio or access Google educational materials. Golang is just yet another Google project that has blocked Iran.

My intention was to show that in reality it doesn't matter whether a software is open source or proprietary like sourceforge .golang has nit blocked Iran .I highly doubt anyone among go community and creators would think or know about this issue . it is only blocked because of app engine just like many other non-google websites which use app engine.
