How is Go not high level? What makes it "systems" language? That's just marketing.
It is a language with a fat runtime, running a garbage collector. You just burn it into the binary and call it a day.
- Tostino 7mo ago(just like modern Java can burn its runtime / GC into the binary)
- Mawr 7mo agoNo, not just like. You're downplaying significant differences between the two that do in fact matter. So much so in fact, that you're just wrong. Stop spreading misinformation.
- gf000 7mo agoGraalVM indeed does a lot more than Go, it's a full optimizing compiler while Go does very little optimiations. But burning a JVM next to a jar file is not hard at all, one could make something like cosmopolitan.
