Hi folks,

I'm thinking about using golang in my xorg-testing-ground tool.
But of course that would be a bad idea, if golang doens't work well
on OI yet (would defeat the whole purpose of my tool)

So, I'd like to know your oppisions on Golang on OI.
Is there already a practically usable port ? Or is there some offical
upstream build that can be easily installed and reliable ?


thx

I can't speak to OI specifically, but in there is GOOS=illumos upstream
in golang, which should generally speaking work reasonably well.

OpenIndiana specific questions is better to ask in OI mailing list(s) -
see https://openindiana.org/community/ for details.

For this particular case you can simply `pkg install golang` and try
yourself how it behaves (and let us know when there is something
unexpected).


HTH.

illumos sponsors a builder for the official golang CI so it is fully 
supported. We have very good support for Golang, Rust and Python. Most 
people here in the community prefer to write Rust over golang but it is 
equally well supported.
