Searching for Emacs Lisp alternative? Try hacking Emacs in Go!

goism is Emacs package that makes it possible to use Go programming language instead of Emacs Lisp inside Emacs.

It provides Go intrinsics and emacs package to make it possible to control Emacs from your programs. Generated functions, methods and variables can be accessed from Emacs Lisp code.

Enjoy the increased type safety and curly braces!

Valid Go package is converted into Emacs Lisp bytecode.

Emacs goism package implements Go runtime, so translated code behaves as close to the specs as possible.

Different optimizations are performed during this translation, so it is not going to be any slower than "native" Emacs Lisp.

See quick guide.

TODO: emacs package installation

• Quick guide (getting started)
• Translation specification
• Features that are not implemented
• goism implementation design

To see what features are going to be implemented in near future, check out Projects tab.

Roadmap 2 is the current stage.

• Compile Golang to Emacs Lisp bytecode
• Golang from Emacs
• Emacs Lisp alternative to extend Emacs
• Emacs Lisp as Golang compilation target
• "Go" emacs package
