Calling Go Functions from C/Python/Ruby/Node/Java

This article might be a little outdated now (2017).

Recently, I've enjoyed using the Python cffi module to interface with C libraries:

  # not tested!
  this_dir = Path(__file__).parent

  ffi = cffi.FFI()
  ffi.cdef((this_dir / "awesome.h").read_text())
  lib = ffi.dlopen(str(this_dir / "awesome.so"))

  print("awesome.Add(12,99) = %d" % lib.Add(12,99))
