On: FFI from Go to Rust

[creichert]

This is very cool. I'd be interested to see more data interaction and how to call a Go function from Rust.

I implemented a similar experiment with Haskell and Rust[0]. It does some simple math and also passes a Haskell callback function into Rust code. Unfortunately, I think we lose quite a bit of information by passing through C code (e.g. Rust's parametric polymorphism).

FYI, `libc` is on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/libc

Just add `libc` as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml` and you should be good to go on beta (assuming that was the only thing holding you back).
