Description

As the popularity of bootc grows a central location for go types/examples would be useful for projects. Speaking with @cgwalters he is willing to consider something similar to rpmostree-client-go[1] for bootc but there is some intersection with [2].

Curious if instead of creating go client as a os exec wrapper, exposing some of the Rust functionality via CGO? Please include me in future conversations on the topic if possible :pray: Wasmtime CGO examples as ref. [3],[4]. I understand that CGO is not ideal but in terms of interaction with Rust over FFI, I don't believe there is another option.
