kingchenc 23d636fd97 Add the Go binding over the C ABI hub (#228)
Adds a Go binding (`bindings/go`) over the C ABI hub — the second language stecker after C#.

## What's here
- **`bindings/go`** — a cgo binding exposing all 514 indicators as idiomatic Go types with `New<Indicator>` constructors and `Update`/`Batch`/`Reset`/`Close` methods. The wrappers in `indicators_gen.go` are generated from `bindings/c/include/wickra.h` (same archetype taxonomy as the C# generator: scalar/batch, multi-output, bars, profile, profile-values, array-input). Opaque handles are freed by `Close()` with a `runtime.SetFinalizer` backstop; pointer arguments are caller-owned, panics never cross the boundary.
- **`examples/go`** — the full example suite mirroring C/C#: streaming, backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets (goroutine fan-out), three strategies, and `fetch_btcusdt`/`live_binance`.
- **CI** — a `go` job builds the C ABI library, stages it, and runs `gofmt`/`go vet`/`go test` plus the offline examples on Linux, macOS and Windows.
- **Docs** — Go added to the README languages table, project layout, building/testing, CONTRIBUTING binding table + regenerate note, ARCHITECTURE, examples index, issue/PR templates, the About-description template, and the other binding READMEs.

## Linking / distribution
The binding links the prebuilt C ABI library via cgo (`libwickra.so`/`.dylib`/`wickra.dll` staged under `bindings/go/lib`, gitignored). The native libraries are already shipped per target triple by the existing `c-abi-build` release job; distribution is via the subdirectory module tag `bindings/go/vX.Y.Z` (gated), so `release.yml` needs no new publish job.

No Rust crate or `Cargo.toml` change — the Go module is standalone and additive.

Not for merge yet (gated, per request).

Wickra — Python

CI codecov PyPI License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

Streaming-first technical indicators for Python. pip install wickra — no system dependencies, no C build tooling.

Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and bindings for Python, Node.js and WebAssembly, plus a C ABI for C/C++, C#, Go and any other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the Python binding (PyO3); it exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.

Install

pip install wickra

Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS, and Windows — there is nothing to compile and no C library to track down.

Quick start

import numpy as np
import wickra as ta

# Batch: classic TA-Lib-style usage over a whole array.
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
values = rsi.batch(prices)              # numpy array, NaN during warmup

# Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_feed:
    value = rsi.update(price)           # no recomputation over history
    if value is not None and value > 70:
        print("overbought")

batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through update() produce identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.

Documentation

The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WebAssembly and Rust, plus a C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against — all exposing the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.

Disclaimer

Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own risk. The library is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
