New Re: Why does one need database drivers?
You need a programming interface for them. Unless this language can directly use C, C++, Python, or some other library (which it may very well be able to, I didn't look).

New Re: any language worth scrapdoodle should be able to callout

There are two Go compiler implementations, 6g and friends, generically called gc, and gccgo. Gc uses a different calling convention and linker and can therefore only be linked with C programs using the same convention. There is such a C compiler but no C++ compiler. Gccgo is a GCC front-end that can, with care, be linked with GCC-compiled C or C++ programs. However, because Go is garbage-collected it will be unwise to do so, at least naively.

There is a “foreign function interface” to allow safe calling of C-written libraries from Go code. We expect to use SWIG to extend this capability to C++ libraries. There is no safe way to call Go code from C or C++ yet.


Yay, C libraries.

New Ouch.
MySQL's C libraries are rather clunky. No, let me revise that: MySQL's network calling protocol is a little clunky and this shows in the C library. If MySQL wanted to get into the Go bandwagon, they'd write a decent modern API in the language itself that uses the wire protocol.

I don't know what Postgres's API is like.
