had a small idea for a build server in go DISCLAIMER: i wrote this without a real text editor off the top of my head, i dont think its gonna compile or work right at all. just ideas

bserv.go

package main

import (
	"net"
	"gob"
	"os"
	"bytes"
)

const (
	LC = iota
	LCpp
	LGo
)

type BuildInfo struct {
	projectName string
	folderData []byte
	language int
	buildCommand string
	exeName string
}

type BuildResults struct {
	exe []byte
	output []byte
}

func HandleConn(c net.Conn) {
	dec := gob.NewDecoder(c)
	var info BuildInfo
	dec.Decode(&info)
	buf := bytes.NewBuffer(info.folderData)
	zipp := gzip.NewReader(buf)
	f, err := os.Create(info.projectName + ".tar")
	//Somehow get all the files in place

	os.Chdir(info.projectName)
	bc := exec.Command(info.buildCommand)

	var results BuildResults
	results.output = bc.CombinedOutput()

	//Afterwards, send the exe back
	f, err := os.Open(info.exeName)
	results.exe = ioutil.ReadAll(f)

	enc := gob.NewEncoder(c)
	enc.Encode(&results)
}

func Listen() {
	list, err := net.ListenTCP("tcp", ":8123")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	for {
		c, _ := list.Accept()
		go HandleConn(c)
	}
}
