Minimal golang binding to V8. This exposes a non-blocking message passing interface to the V8 javascript engine. Go and JavaScript interact by sending and receiving messages. V8 will block a thread (goroutine) only while it computes javascript - it has no "syscalls" other than sending and receiving messages to Go. There are only three built in functions exposed to javascript: $print(string), $send(msg), and $recv(callback).

MIT License. Contributions welcome.

Just run make, which will trigger a build of V8 and then do make install which will trigger go install. V8 is statically linked. It's only been tested on my OSX laptop so far - should be easily portable to linux tho.

From golang checkout the API here: https://godoc.org/github.com/ry/v8worker

From Javascript you only have: $print(string) $send(msg) $recv(callback). See worker_test.go for example usage for now.

• need ability to pass command line options to V8 when creating a worker (maybe before)
• way to kill worker
• get text of exception
