protoc-gen-temporal-go is a protoc
plugin which generates Go language bindings for Temporal
workers with their workflows and activities, based on service definitions in
protocol-buffer files.
This methodology enables easier and safer usage of Temporal: it enforces correctness and consistency within and across workers, intorduces best practices seamlessly, reduces manually-written boilerplate, and improves documentation and discoverability for developers and users.

- There's another open-source implementation for comparison, but it's incomplete
