Yaegi is a pure-Go interpreter for the Go language, providing complete Go specification support on top of the Go runtime. It can be embedded in applications via a simple New/Eval/Use API, used as a dynamic extension/plugin framework, or run as a standalone CLI REPL.
Use cases
- run Go code as scripts without compiling
- embed a Go interpreter in an application
- load dynamic Go plugins at runtime
- evaluate Go expressions in an interactive REPL
- execute user-supplied Go logic safely without unsafe or syscall
When to choose
- you need to script or extend a Go application with Go code at runtime
- you want a Go REPL or interpreter written in pure Go
- you need sandboxed-ish evaluation excluding unsafe and syscall packages
When to avoid
- you need maximum performance comparable to compiled Go
- you need packages outside the supported Go versions or heavy cgo dependencies
- you need a stable v1 API - the project is still pre-1.0
