When is it OK to panic in Go?
GoAWK uses panic & recover to simplify error handling in the recursive descent parser: https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/blob/master/parser/parser.g...

Anyone else doing compiler work in Golang?
Another nice project that I have used from time to time (and a very good source for insight) is the awk interpreter written in go https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk

Tool to interact with CSV
No, I want exactly the opposite - it should be a , b,c as a single string field containing a literal comma, and c. For example, https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk has csv support. https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/blob/master/docs/csv.md - more info.

Why does awk parse '1&&x=1' as '1&&(x=1)' not '(1&&x)=1' when '&&' is high precedence than '='?
I've had a go at solving this in this PR -- feedback welcome. I don't love it, but oh well, it solves the problem at hand. Your comment pointed me in the right direction, thanks again.

Looking for programming languages created with Go
There are quite a few re-implementations of scripting languages like Lua in Go. I've written an AWK interpreter in Go.

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
Yes, that's right. With my simplistic UTF-8-based implementation it turned length() -- for example -- from O(1) to O(N), turning O(N) algorithms which use length() into O(N^2). See this issue: https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/issues/93
Similar with substr() and other string functions, which when operating as bytes are O(1), but become O(N) when trying to count the number of codepoints as UTF-8.
GNU Gawk has a fancier approach, which stores strings as UTF-8 as long as it can, but converts to UTF-32 if it needs to (eg: the string is non-ASCII and you call substr).
It looks like Brian Kernighan's code has the same issue with length() and substr(). I'm going to try to email him about this, as I think it's kind of a performance blocker.
