“Zero dependency” after you install a 80MB JRE. You keep using this word. I don’t think it means what you think it does. Statically linked C is zero dependency.

“Zero dependency” after you install a 80MB JRE. You keep using this word. I don’t think it means what you think it does. Statically linked C is zero dependency. Go is zero dependency. Copy a binary to the target system and it runs. There’s nothing else to install.
- wstrange 9y agoThe bundle includes the JRE.
- kbenson 9y agoIt gets a little fuzzy. Go and C are only zero dependency once you have their platforms installed (the OS). The JRE is only a little on top of that, ships with some systems out of the box, and is generally ubiquitous enough that you can probably rely on it being present it over a particular OS being present. Ita not really zero cost, but neither is an app that only has binaries for an OS you don't run.
