Is it possible to write node.js addons in go?

I guess it's all about whether libuv and the other c/cpp glue can be somehow imitated from within a go executable. Is it possible? If yes, could you provide some guidance on where to start?

Thanks!

At the moment it is not possible (read very complicated) to build shared objects with Go, as to dynamically link them into a system. It's for this same reason that Go can only interface with other web servers through CGI or Fast-CGI.

So my answer would be not directly. maybe you could achieve something through IPC and a small C-"proxy" that's linked into node.
