Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.
-
How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.

Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.

Running WebAssembly code in Go
The next step is to create a Go project and run our wasm file with some runtime. For this, I chose wasmer-go.
-
Running Go code inside a NodeJS app with WASM (Part 1/2, 2023)
However, there are other, more fleshed-out, libraries like wasmer-go that provides a runtime and help us navigate around these limitations. The wasmer-go documentation provides a good summary of these challenges:
-
How to develop a Web app in go
wasmer-go
-
Plugo - A plugin library for Go.
I did some research and found a WebAssembly runtime that can run Go code that has been compiled to WASM. It seems to me that one could implement a plugin system using this. I might try.

The Carcinization of Go Programs
Thank you Syrus, appreciate your work with Wasmer. Congrats on the 3.0 release and Windows support! I just fixed guregu/trealla on WAPM to work with the latest changes. I think WAPM is very cool and I hope more people start doing releases on it.
These are the two issues I'm referring to:

First steps with Golang and WebAssembly
Time to implement the other side of the story. I have found a WebAssembly runtime for Go. Wasmer-go is a complete and mature WebAssembly runtime for Go based on Wasmer.

Choosing scripting extension - need advice
If performance is your main concern, there's Wasmer-go, but if you'd rather avoid CGO dependencies, there's wazero.
-
WASM without Node.js?
See wasmer-go for server-side runtime.
-
Options for running WASM in Go?
I've been looking at wasmer-go, and it seems to be quite performant given that the runtime is written in Rust and invoked through CGo bindings. Is this what everyone is using?
-
Trying to write a cross-language library
Go: I don't know of anything higher-level than either exposing a C ABI from Rust and then calling it using cgo or using wasmer-go to embed a WebAssembly runtime in your Go program.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SWIG and wasmer-go you can also consider the following projects:
cffi
napi-rs - A framework for building compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust via Node-API
CppSharp - Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
wazero - wazero: the zero dependency WebAssembly runtime for Go developers
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
wasmtime-go - Go WebAssembly runtime powered by Wasmtime
djinni
uniffi-rs - a multi-language bindings generator for rust
JavaCPP - The missing bridge between Java and native C++
PyO3 - Rust bindings for the Python interpreter
JNA - Java Native Access
grule-rule-engine - Rule engine implementation in Golang
