+Infra>Platform since they are probably the right people to talk to.

Personally, I totally support the idea of using Go for various helper scripts on slaves!

However, this also requires thinking through compilation and installing the right binaries on the right hosts. We have CIPD pipeline for doing a lot of that stuff, and I believe there is some work being done to allow CIPD packages being installed by recipes. Maybe that's how compile.py --> compile.go could be installed?

This might warrant a design doc rather than a bug, so more specific and detailed discussion can happen. Thanks!

yeah, as I sent a mail to ML, it would be good to use CIPD pipeline.
Currently I don't have any concrete idea to achieve this. I need to investigate how we can utilize golang more. Then let me share the design later. Thanks!

Still valid FR. I think the plan is that a recipe module can spec CIPD package it needs to run.

So, the idea is to add Go code to infra/go corner, get a CIPD package out of it, then install CIPD package in your recipe before running steps depending on the binary.

Go code itself won't be allowed in scripts/slave.
