Hi all. Something I left out of the post that I should have mentioned: if you are wondering why a Hello World program is hundreds of kilobytes instead of tens like a C program, it is because Go programs are statically linked. You can dynamically link Go on linux to see similar numbers: $ go install -buildmode=shared std $ go build -linkshared hello.go $ ./hello Hello, World! $ ls -l hello -rwxr-x--- 1 crawshaw eng 15713 Aug 18 19:26 hello (Dynamic linking in Go was funded by Canonical, which is pretty cool!)
