I don't know if there is still interest in this project, but I continue to be interested. Recently I note that Apple's Swift might reasonably be a good target.
Consider: a. swift already provides a repl, with debugger. quite possibly easy access to existing scientific C/C++ codebase, which Seb was hoping for. b. there is the ability to call into Go from Swift, using gomobile. https://medium.com/@rakyll/calling-go-from-swift-be88709942c3#.30mhs3whh c. swift provides protocols, which appear to generalize interfaces. d. these libraries can be used to add goroutines, channels, select, defer, and panic to swift: https://github.com/tidwall/GoSwift https://github.com/tidwall/Safe e. swift supports multiple returns in a tuple; swift supports closures. f. there is already a production quality JIT-compiler provided for you (e.g. it leverages llvm); this is what the swift REPL utilizes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
