Binary packages alternative

  2,067 119,564 10.0 Go

  The Go programming language

• go-plugin

  Golang plugin system over RPC.

  

You'll never fully protect your code from someone who's dead-set on reverse-engineering it, however, you can use https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin or a similar RPC technique, which will let you ship binary plugins and will also be less fragile and janky compared to something made with `-buildmode=plugin`.
