First write your shared library in go, then load it into your ruby =
program using either ruby/dl (part of the MRI standard library) or =
ruby-ffi (available as a gem and supported under both MRI and JRuby).

You will also have to figure out how go mangles function names to be =
able to call into the library and there may well be runtime aspects of =
the go language which are incompatible with current ruby =
implementations.

Happy hacking

Indeed. But if you can build a shared library in the first place =
(something I can't comment on one way or the other) then both ruby/dl =
and ruby-ffi can attempt to load it. Whether or not that's easy or =
stable we'll only know for sure when someone tries
