Hi Marco,

That's super interesting, especially the Go interpreter part. 

Curious – how close is the interpreter to the latest Go version?

And how fast are new Go versions adopted?

Thanks,

Christoph

it's a rather interesting project.
the comparison against yaegi (at least on the fibonacci example) is
flabergasting. (did you try against gomacro[1]?)

do you plan to expose a REPL powered by Scriggo?

anyways: nice project & congrats!

Hi Christoph,

The interpreter implements Go 1.17 with some limitations that we need to work on. You can see the following page:

> And how fast are new Go versions adopted?

We try to support the latest version of Go as soon as it is released. We keep track of all changes in the developer version, you can see this issue:

We haven't tested gomacro, but we can certainly add it to the benchmarks.

At the moment this is not planned yet as we would like to complete the implementation of all Go specifications first.

Thank you.
