gomacro is an almost complete Go interpreter written in pure Go, providing an interactive REPL with line editing and completion, a scripting mode, a debugger, and Lisp-like macros with generics support. It can also be embedded as a library to add Eval() and scripting capabilities to Go programs.

Use cases

• experiment with Go code in an interactive REPL
• add Eval() and scripting to a Go application
• debug Go source code interactively
• try out Go generics quickly
• use Go scientific libraries interactively like a notebook
• script in Go without a Go toolchain at runtime

When to choose

• you want an interactive Go REPL or scripting environment
• you need to embed dynamic code evaluation in a Go program
• you want to experiment with Go generics or macros
• you want a Jupyter-style Go experience via Gophernotes

When to avoid

• you need full compatibility with all Go features and standard toolchain behavior
• you need maximum performance for production execution
• your project cannot accept MPL-2.0 licensing restrictions
