As one would want a clean Go library, I think this library should be implemented from scratch in Go - there is also a better chance to get a really good performing library, if it is designed in Go and not in C. One obvious thing is, to do all heavy computations in parallel via goroutines.
Finally, there is the licensing question - only when implementing from scratch, one is free to choose the license for the library. I would strongly argue in favor of using one of the BSD/MIT licenses, as these are the most commonly used licenses in the Go community and impose the least friction for interaction and usage.
