About:
Yaegi is a Go interpreter that executes Go code directly without requiring a compilation step. It provides a complete, embeddable REPL environment for Go, enabling dynamic evaluation, scripting, and interactive exploration of APIs. Its primary value is in rapid prototyping, testing snippets, and building extensible Go applications.
Key Features:
  • REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for interactive Go
  • Supports almost all Go language features, including cgo and reflection
  • Embeddable interpreter for extending Go applications
  • Scripting engine for dynamic Go code execution
Use Cases:
  • Interactive learning and experimentation with Go syntax and packages
  • Embedding a scripting engine into Go applications for user-defined logic
  • Rapid prototyping and testing of Go code snippets without compilation
Alternatives:
  • gopl.io/play – Online playground vs. local, embeddable interpreter
  • standard Go compiler – Static compilation vs. dynamic interpretation
