I agree with everything you said. Reflection, I think, is the one that is quite difficult to address. The others - GC and unicode data - can be addressed through changes to WebAssembly in theory. For Zig, I developed a custom compression algorithm[0] for the Unicode data files needed to implement the same string functions - reducing the data size down to just 58 KiB. The same could certainly be applied to Go. [0] https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/unicode-data-file-compression https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/unicode-data-file-compression
