How does this compare with https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro which does something very similar? It seems fairly complete, or at least much further along than neugram + it does lisp style macros! If you ignore the macros its language is pretty much go except that main(){ ... } is elided just like in ng. May be worth checking it out, at least for ideas/inspiration.

Hello d4l3k, I did not try go-pry yet, but I am very curious to compare it with my own attempt at an interactive Go REPL https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro They look similar in several aspects, and different in some key ones. For example, mine does not try to instrument compiled code and, among other things, uses exactly go1.8 plugin to import compiled packages at runtime.
