		steeve on June 21, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Go support for Android On a side note, it's already possible to build Android binaries with CGO as long as you use the external linker. Just build for Linux + external linked from the NDK.

You don't even need the external linker. Just build a normal linux/arm binary with CGO_ENABLED=0.

What this proposal brings is access to the NDK APIs. You could run Go on Android since over 4 years now.
