I noticed that recently (May) a PR to allow go support was merged. Does this mean an official go version of the SDK is on its way (I hope)?

I've found an unofficial one at https://github.com/dreampuf/evernote-sdk-golang but it only has a few stars, is on the 1.25 version of the API, and hasn't been committed to since April.

Any suggestions for me? If an official go version of the SDK is available, I'd love to beta-test it. Otherwise, would you recommend that I create my own golang sdk from the Thrift files, or would I be better off writing in a different language (like java)?

We use generated Go bindings internally at Evernote, but these are not officially blessed/supported for external use yet.

Note, however, that it should be rather straightforward to make your own bindings based on the provided Thrift files.

You can use the latest version of Thrift compiler, and the suggested way of compiling the Go code is to use the following helper script:

#/bin/sh

THRIFT_BINARY="./thrift"
PARAMS="-gen go:package_prefix=github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-go/"
THRIFT_FILES_DIR="."

$THRIFT_BINARY $PARAMS $THRIFT_FILES_DIR/Errors.thrift
$THRIFT_BINARY $PARAMS $THRIFT_FILES_DIR/Limits.thrift
$THRIFT_BINARY $PARAMS $THRIFT_FILES_DIR/NoteStore.thrift
$THRIFT_BINARY $PARAMS $THRIFT_FILES_DIR/Types.thrift
$THRIFT_BINARY $PARAMS $THRIFT_FILES_DIR/UserStore.thrift

The generated .go files need to be tweaked manually in a few places (explicit casting of types required); this might change with Go 1.9 which has type aliases).

Then you can manually put the generated .go files under $GOPATH/src/github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-go/edam and start using them.

Will we get official Go SDK?
