Unfortunately not, because bc is used to build the Linux kernel, and requiring Go to build the Linux kernel is not good.
And that was part of my original requirements because I knew that fact at the time I started.
- trealira 3y agoI see. I didn't realize that's what you meant by dependency-free. There's still a dependency on there being a C compiler, though.
- gavinhoward 3y agoThat is true that there is still a dependency on a C compiler, but the Linux kernel has that dependency too, so that dependency is "free." Edit: In fact, there's really a dependency on POSIX sh and various standard POSIX utilities, but Linux also requires those to build, so those are also "free."
