Yes. For example, the dbus package: https://github.com/therecipe/qt/blob/053d54a2eb0658bae6e3259...

All of the code is cgo wrappers around messes of c/c++



Can gc load a cgo plugin [1]? If so, could you build therecipe/qt into a plugin and load it at runtime to avoid being forced to use cgo?

E.g. your project has `type Qt interface {`, and the plugin exports a global symbol that can be asserted to that interface to use the library.

It could probably work, but plugins currently only work on linux.
