that's true. that is... until a (real) Go interpreter shows up. something that's bound to happen when Go will be used for (data) exploratory work.

I poked around with writing a Go interpreter a while back. There are a number of issues that make it practically infeasible. You can get some hacked-up stuff off of GitHub, but those hacked up things are pretty much the best you can do right now.

But as per my other thread in this thread, if the scientific community becomes big enough I wouldn't be surprised they fork Go entirely, at which point that opens up a lot more options.

as I am working on https://github.com/go-interpreter/wagon, I'd be very interested in these issues you're talking about.
