Port for Google Go
Locked

Hi Dev's, I am interested in creating a port of QuantLib for the Google Go language at http://code.google.com/p/go/ . Is this something the community would be interested in? -Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Steve, Hi. How are you? Porting seems to be harder, not only because of the amount of existing code, but the evolution of the library itself. QuantLibXL, for example, is very close to QuantLib but it is always some weeks behind in terms of releases. However, I admit that porting may be funnier to work on. :-) PS.: I only a casual contributor.

Hi Steve, as Peter said, SWIG can give you a head start if you manage to make the existing interfaces work with its Go module (they're in the QuantLib-SWIG release, inside the SWIG folder). Also, any class exported to one of the other languages would also be available in Go.
The disadvantage is that using the bindings might cause you to write non-idiomatic Go, and you won't get a chance to reimplement the architecture in terms of the facilities provided by Go. So you'd be calling the library from Go, but the underlying mechanics (observables etc) would still be in C++. And most of the library is not thread-safe, which is probably a big no-no in Go.
I'll leave it to you to weigh pros and cons against each other. Later, Luigi
