Subject: Pure Go HDF5 implementation - 9 years later
Hi all,
Replying to this 9-year-old thread because the original question has
finally been answered.
Back in 2015, the consensus was that HDF5 is "so complicated that there is
only one implementation" and too difficult for pure Go. I'm happy

P.S. NetCDF4 being "stripped down HDF5" (as mentioned in the original
thread) means this library could potentially support it too, though that's
not implemented yet.

Hi all,

finally been answered.

that's no longer true.

Hi all,
I know this thread is 10+ years old, but I wanted to follow up since
the regexp performance discussion is still highly relevant today.
TL;DR: The situation has improved slightly over the years, but the
fundamental performance characteristics haven't changed dramatically.
So I built corege

2025 update: This is now possible.
I've built a Pure-Go race detector that works with CGO_ENABLED=0:
https://github.com/kolkov/racedetector
Works in:
- Alpine/scratch Docker containers
- AWS Lambda / Cloud Functions
- Cross-compilation scenarios
- Any CGO_ENABLED=0 environment
Thanks! )
