Gogling

This is a complete rewrite of gogling written in 2016.

Example

-- You can import go packages if you built them
local fmt = gogling.U.import('fmt')

-- You can call methods from imported packages
fmt.Println('Hello, World!')

-- github.com/gorilla/mux Router instance can be accessed as gogling.I.Router
gogling.I.Router:HandleFunc('/', gogling.U.wrap(function(session)
  fmt.Fprintf(session.writer, 'Hello, World!')
end))

Building standard library

You can build Golang's standard library into a set of plugins which can be loaded as lua modules using gogling.U.import function.

To do this you'll need ruby and bash.

First, you need to generate go-to-lua bindings by running get-gostdlib.rb (was tested on ruby 2.5.0, but will probably work on earlier versions).

Then you need to build generated bindings by running build-gostdlib.sh.

You'll find built standard library in the lib/ directory.

Note that not all go libraries are compiled for now because some of them cause compilation errors when trying to relay them to the lua world. One of them is math.
