[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] RCL implementation in go

[J J Ruiz]

Hi there,

A couple o months ago I saw the RCL concept for binding ROS2 in different languages. As I recently started learning go, I thought it would be great to have that library available in this language. 

Unfortunately, there weren't any repositories on github doing that so I decided to do it by myself:

[https://github.com/juaruipav/rclgo](https://github.com/juaruipav/rclgo)

Current implementation covers approximately ~75% of the rcl  functionality (it is not totally functional yet). The most difficult part is the type binding. I plan to use a code generator to bind directly the C types definitions.

Any thoughts about it? Any suggestions? There are many good features from go (goroutines, reflection, interfaces..) that could result really interesting when working on robotics.

Best Regards!
