sciabarracom commented on issue #90: Golang plugin system URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-go/issues/90#issuecomment-500234091 The initial design was actually to build an executable including the proxy code to get a single executable. Community feedback was to build something that can work with other languages, most notably swift. Currently, the runtime spawning an executable is actually used for Go, Swift, PHP, Python, Rust, Java and Ruby. The communication layer is the old Unix pipe that is very fast and efficient. It was carefully measured and using it improved performances of other runtimes from a factor of 10 to 100. I also did an experiment using a plugin and I did not notice any improvement in speed than using a pipe. Data are passed in-memory anyway using a pipe.
