My GoLab 2022 experience
On the cgo side I want to highlight two talks: one from Loris Cro about dealing with cross-complition difficulties, that the usage of cgo brings, using the Zig language and the other from Jason Dellaluce and Leonardo Grasso about how to extend Falco, a Kubernetes threat detection engine, which is written in C++, with plugins written in Go, explaining the challenges of integrating cgo in both C and Go.
