Running golang script natively on Kestra worker

[aballiet]

Feature description

Golang is a great language for small and fast scripting, would be nice to be able to use it with a dedicated plugin as it is done for python (full list)

hmm tricky subject as Go-lang is not really a scripting language, right? so putting it under a script plugin just as a wrapper around Docker/Shell could be a bit misleading maybe?

Still, let's assume we would do it, what would you put under a Script task for Go? since I don't know Go, ChatGPT came up with this - is this plausible or not?

id: go_demo
namespace: company.team
tasks:
  - id: go
    type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.go.Script
    beforeCommands:
      - go mod init script
      - go get github.com/kestra-io/kestra-go-sdk # assuming we have equivalent to kestra's pip package for Go
    script: |
      package main

      import (
          "fmt"
          "net/http"
          "io/ioutil"
          "github.com/kestra-io/kestra-go-sdk"
      )

      func main() {
          resp, err := http.Get("https://kestra.io")
          if err != nil {
              fmt.Println("Error:", err)
              return
          }
          defer resp.Body.Close()

          body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
          fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)

          kestra.Outputs(map[string]interface{}{
              "status": resp.StatusCode,
              "text":   string(body),
          })
      }

as a workaround for you, for now, we support Go as a container task in Shell https://kestra.io/docs/how-to-guides/golang
