Hi all,

Apologies for the delay! I meant to reply much sooner but lost track.

I would also encourage you to use the native interfaces as much as 
possible, rather than binding to C or shelling out to wg(8). If you have 
any questions about decisions I made in wgctrl-go, I'd be happy to share 
my thoughts.
