Go "has" the integers int32 and int64. A rune ensure the usage of int32. "Text libs" use runes. Go has only bytes and runes.
Go's text libraries use UTF-8 encoded byte strings. Not arrays of runes. See, for example,
http://golang.org/pkg/regexp/Are you claiming that UTF-8 is the optimum string representation and therefore should be used by Python?
