Hi!!
I read https://github.com/sbinet/go-hdf5#known-problems, but, is there any solution about the problem of storing structs with string fields? HDF5 already support them... Is there anything that can be done? Maybe I can help too... It would be great to have HDF5 working with Go (at least, it would be great for me:P).

like h5py did (and probably PyTables too) one needs to implement a hdf5 converter for Go strings, so they are part of (and properly handled by) the hdf5 type system.
it's not very difficult, it just takes a bit of time.

Ok, I'll have a look and try to find something and understand it... is it not possible to have a fixed length string?
