GoLang Runtime Library

[MrArnoldPalmer]

🚀 Feature Request

Go Jsii Runtime Library Definition

Proposed Solution

Create a private npm module named @jsii/go-runtime with a Go module that will be a dependency of all generated JSII Go modules. This module will use os/exec to create a child process running node and the jsii-runtime and handle communication between it and the generated host modules.

See Host Library in the language implementation handbook for details.

• Go Runtime Jsii to Native Value Casting #2047 JSII to native value casting
• Go Runtime Method Invocation #2127 Go runtime method invocation
• Go Runtime Get/Set #2128 Go runtime get/set implementation

Unresolved Questions
Since go modules are just source files published to a git repository, can we just use this repo with our existing tagging system? Is a go.mod able to point to the runtime modules specific location?
