You're now talking specifically about SDL, where as I was commenting about your generalisation about Go as a language (which was the context of your previous comment).
I'd already said Go lacks any kind of standard graphics library and never tried to argue otherwise. But the standard packages that are included with Go's SDK are cross platform. I can (and frequently do) write Go applications using just the standard libraries that I then run on different platforms (both in terms of OS and CPU architecture) without any code changes what-so-ever.
Anyhow, even that being my point, I don't agree with it myself. Thinking properly about it, Go's base packages are little more equivalent to ANSI C than JRE; Go isn't managed and thus base packages are really just a set of standard libraries rather than a runtime environment.
