Thanks David, great info! Last time I checked, I think the C implementation was also still shipping with something, I think Orbot for Android. Perhaps this is also for either flash proxy or FTE support, since Python is not the best option on Android.
>From the graphs it looks like FTE is still in use, but that flash proxy seems to no longer be used. If I recall correctly, the core FTE code is actually written in C and is just using the Python PT implementation with Python-C bindings to the FTE library. So a port of the FTE PT to the Go PT implementation seems possible.
