Is it possible to embed a language inside Go? I need it to create plugins inside my application.
At the first, I'll explain cgo. Go provides API to export values into C language.
For example, you can export string as char* like below.
package main
/*
#include <stdio.h>
static void myputs(char* s) {
puts(s);
}
*/
import "C"
func main() {
s := "hello world"
C.myputs(C.CString(s))
}
So you need to write functions to access C library. But there are some packages to use script languages. See:

Or if you don't want to use C language. You can use native go language like otto
