<div class="">Hi everyone, </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While thinking about proposals for the coming NDN Hackathon, I’m curious about the possibilities to write NDN applications in golang. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is a go-ndn project on github [1], which seems to be re-implementing ndn in golang. But it is not officially supported or maintained. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Another option for using ndn in golang is to link the binary with the libndncxx / libndncpp library. [2][3][4]</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Does anyone already have experience in using SWIG to link golang programs with libndncxx or libndncpp? </div>
