I have a string value that I’d like to convert into an actual object in my running program. The string would be read from a configuration file. For example, the string "os:Stdin" should be processable somehow to get the actual variable os.Stdin. Is that possible in Go? The reflect package seems to only work on objects you already have; I’ve also had a look at the go/importer package, but that seems to primarily deal with source-level information and doesn’t seem to allow you to bridge from there to already existing objects in memory. Other-language equivalents would be Class.forName(...) in Java or Assembly.GetType(...) in C#. Can anyone supply any useful pointers? I know about the plugin package, but AFAIK it doesn’t work on Windows.
