I can't speak for the Swift API, but Heimdal on MacOS X also provides a
standard C API for the GSSAPI functions.  I don't have much experience
with Go but if you can call C functions from within it (and I have to
believe that is possible) then doing so for Heimdal should be fine.
There might be a few differences in term of what GSSAPI extension
functions are available but from what you describe you should only need
the standard GSSAPI functions.
