It's ANSI C with a bespoke macro generics system not Go, does not cover as many balancing rules, and is not written up as nicely. It does do something only weakly represented in your Go impls, AFAICT - "binary symmetry" - the reflection about left-right intrinsic to most ideas in this area. (Mehlhorn has a book that does this, but that is the only other source I know.) It also has API considerations like seek-edit separation and how to handle in-tree duplicate keys (FIFO/LIFO/etc. as opposed to values which are also collections).
Also, Re: B-trees among several comments here - edit heavy B-trees with very large nodes (driven by IO bandwidth-delay products) need some "mini-scalable" structure for their nodes since shifting (on average) half the entries can cost. That mini-scale could be another B-tree or it could be a binary search tree, perhaps adjusted to have 2-byte sized pointers into the little arena that is a node if 64Knode is enough. I once heard Sybase (now Microsoft SQL Server?) used skip lists. Anyway, this may be a remaining use case for binary trees even in the presence of a B-tree.
