The bridge is being rewritten in Go

[tulir]

The Python version will likely not receive any further updates. Once the Go bridge is ready for general use, it will be merged into this repository and replace the Python version. The new bridge will likely support a direct upgrade from the last old version (v0.4.3) preserving all portal rooms. However, Signal logins are currently managed by signald, which the new bridge will not use, so those will not be preserved and all users will have to re-link the bridge.

Thinking of having a go/look at #1. In light of this, what are things to consider?

[mattcen]

Is the plan to link against libsignal (I have no idea how easy that is since it's written in Rust), or are you writing from scratch?

[maltee1]

Against libsignal using an FFI layer

[erebion]

How about using the re-write as an opportunity to add something like "this might take a while" messages for commands that usually can take a while? Sometimes it is a bit confusing when not knowing whether the bridge is doing anything. :)

Might be a good time for collecting suggestions anyway, right?

Is there a roadmap for the golang rewrite? Will this be pushed into this repo?

read the repo description:

Go rewrite of mautrix-signal - This is a temporary project that will be merged into the main mautrix-signal repo when ready

It was pushed today. But I had issues, see #382.

Sadly not working for me, bot doesn't respond to anything.
I had the previous version installed with pip in an venv.
I copied conig.yaml and registration.yaml, deleted the venv and installed the go version with systemd service.
I can start to bridge and I didn't recognized any error either, but I don't get any responsed.
When I write a message, it clearly sees it because it says:
