Despite being static and strongly typed, Go feels like a dynamic language. The standard library even provides the Go parser used by the compiler and the reflection system to interact dynamically with the runtime. So why not just take the last logical step and finally build a complete Go interpreter?
Programming languages for high level scripting and for low level implementation are usually different. This time, with Go, we have an opportunity to unify both. Imagine all the C/C++/Java fast libraries for Python being written in Python instead. That’s what Yaegi is for Go (or, the reverse). No burden due to syntax switch, no need to rewrite or modify slow code to make it fast, and full access to goroutines, channels, type safety, etc. at script level.
