I've been playing around with Go over the past couple of months, and would like to run it on the Pandora. I know from the site that it'll work on the ARM, but I don't if it'll work on the Pandora - has anyone tried?


I just think it would be cool to get Go going on the Pandora, alongside my C, C++, Fortran, and BASIC (just for old times' sake) compilers.
 
golang.org says 5g is incomplete, it looks like you shouldn't use it at all.


There's also gccgo which is simply a frontend for GCC's C Compiler, it is supposed to be much slower but it generates more efficient code than 6g/8g/5g. It looks like you should be able to use it, but I don't think the currently available SDKs etc include a GCC that was compiled with Go support.

Right, so I'll try and get gccgo working on there to tide me over while 5g is polished up, is that right?

Give a whirl to GoSpeccy, a ZX Spectrum emulator written in Go (sorry, just a bit of self-promotion ;) ). It would be nice to see it running on the Pandora (sooner or later)!
