Some years ago I did a little go programming but set it aside, primarily due to
lack of time.  I also looked at go data exchange standards; there is a somewhat
common SGF (Standard Game Format) for go that is a text based scripting
language.  Unlike PGN, being easily read by humans was not a high level
priority.  I suppose that th go community could adapt PGN to their needs just as
has the checkers (draughts) community done with their Portable Checkers
Notation.

There have been a number of interesting go programming efforts that attempt to
utilize advanced planning and it's not surprising that Wilkins' Paradise has
been referenced in that context.

I remember hearing a story that here's a US$1,000,000 offer available for a
master level go program that can fit on a US$100 handheld computer.
