Golang Processor

[Wuerike]

So, time to time I need some small thing that is not that straight forward to achieve, at this moments I usually use AWK or js processors.

But what I always got me questioning is, why dont we have a golang processor? I just don't trust enough in this interpreters running other languages in go, wouldn't be better use go by it self as a processor?

Hey @Wuerike 👋 Thank you for the suggestion! I think that should be fairly straightforward to achieve via https://github.com/traefik/yaegi. I imagine the code would be similar to the javascript processor. PRs are welcome, but you can also write your own plugin.

Also, the wasm processor should support binaries produced by tinygo: https://github.com/redpanda-data/benthos/tree/82e275d2a9c33a0079d62d6abf709066bd48e2fd/public/wasm/examples/tinygo
