I'm still wishing that we could embed Go into a multithreaded c application, just like we can with the JVM and Mono. I would like to use Go as a "scripting" language. I have seen a thread in the mailing list that someone was working on it on a personal basis, but I can't find it anymore. It doesn't seem to be in high demand.



Why not just write all of it in Go?


I have working, tested, high performance software in C. Throwing all that away and taking the risk of having Go underperform or be buggier than my previous solution is just not acceptable.

What?


I believe the post is referring to something like http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/sp...


I was not aware that was possible... A little terrifying, actually.
