[mlpack] GSOC: Change of language for automated binding generator

[Yasmine Dumouchel]

Hello everyone!

I have changed the language of my project which was to create an automated binding generator for Java users to use mlpack. I will now be implementing a binding generator but for Go users.

This will most probably done using cgo, which enables to interoperation with C and C++ libraries (https://blog.golang.org/c-go-cgo <https://blog.golang.org/c-go-cgo>). As for matrices, we could use the Go gonum matrix. A  gonum matrix would than be converted into an armadillo matrix and vice versa by creating utility functions. 

If anyone else has any experience in using Go and cgo or any comments and inputs that can be useful let me know!

Thank you!

Yasmine
