flatbuffers

[long12310225]

Do you have a plan to support flatbuffers? If so, when or in what version?

[jiyeyuran]

There are no plans to support flatbuffers. I am planning to rewrite mediasoup in pure golang.

But the new version of mediasoup uses flatbuffers, so how do you rewrite it in go to fit the official mediasoup demo? Do you provide Android, ios corresponding to your go version of the demo?

Hi @jiyeyuran,

Reimplementing mediasoup in golang is certainly an interesting idea, but I'm uncertain about its potential impact on performance compared to the original C++ implementation. Mediasoup has been meticulously optimized for performance, with a focus on low memory allocation and CPU footprint. A reimplementation in Go might result in decreased performance.

Do you think reimplementing mediasoup would be more feasible than simply updating the library to use flatbuffers? 🤔

I found this project "https://github.com/byyam/mediasoup-go-worker" which is rewritten in golang, you can take a look. But I think it is better to use golang for control logic and c/c++ for stream forwarding(sfu) and processing, we need to consider upgrading and new function, and the cost.
