In case it got misssed, the last (?) SIGART Newsletter (No. 94, Oct. 85) had
a paper by Bruce Wilcox "Reflections on Building Two Go Programs" wherein he
describes the lessons learned from writing a medium-sized LISP program, then
re-writing it in C.

There's not much in it on the port problems; you can probably summarize what
there is as "Not worth the effort in current environments."
