3. This talk What is Go? How to use Java library from Go The Go gopher was designed by Renee French. (http://reneefrench.blogspot.com/)
4. What is Go?
5. Go • Simple language spec. • Official development tools • Statically typed • Compile to native code • Concurrency etc.. Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
6. Simple Low learning cost to start. package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("hello world") }
7. Tools / go-fmt End of coding style war • Tab vs Space • Curly brackets { do something $ gofmt ./… # or use editor plugin
8. Tools / go get Easy to publish and use library/tools No central repository $ go get github.com/juntaki/gogtags $ gogtags -v
9. go-doc Generates documentation from comments and tests godoc.org/github.com/username/repository
10. Go is fun! Let’s use Go
11. How to use Java libraries from Go
12. Motivation My team is using Kotlin - Why? Statically typed ʕ ◔ϖ◔ʔ < OK “Kotlin” sounds cute (for Japanese) ʕ ◔ϖ◔ʔ < cute Kotlin can be used with our Java libraries ʕ - ϖ - ʔ < mmm...
13. Go can call Java libraries now github.com/juntaki/javago github.com/juntaki/jnigo
14. jnigo Java binding to Go, using JNI Go C Java cgo JNI
15. javago Generate go wrapper code for Java library with jnigo $ javago --classfile java.lang.Math $ ls java java.lang.Math.go
16. Demo
17. Garbage collection, Memory management Java and C things are wrapped by Go object. GoObject C (JNI) Java GetObject / malloc GetObject Object reference Pointer to Object ref. NewGlobalRef Go GC runtime.Finalizer DeleteGlobalRef free Java GC
18. Method overloading func Mathmax(args ...interface{}) (jnigo.JObject, error) { convertedArgs, err := jvm.ConvertAll(args) if err != nil { return nil, err } sigArgs := "" for _, arg := range convertedArgs { sigArgs += arg.Signature() } sigMap := map[string]string{"JJ":"(JJ)J", "FF":"(FF)F", "DD":"(DD)D", "II":"(II)I"} return jvm.CallStaticFunction("java/lang/Math", "max", sigMap[sigArgs], convertedArgs) } Simulated by reflection. Switch function signature by argument signatures
19. Conclusion Go is fun!
