Embed a scripting language inside Go
3 answers
First, I will explain cgo. Go provides an API for exporting values to the C language.
For example, you can export a string char*
as shown 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 the C library. But there are several packages for using script languages. Cm:

Or, if you do not want to use the C language, you can use the native language, for example otto
