Well i don't buy that part. When I first came across sysmon/regmon/procmon, I found it to be an amazing piece of work. An extremely small free standalone program that gave you a realtime insight into the OS? Heck, if I kept a list of people to hire, he would definitely be on it!
That thing was even 1/10 of the "hello world" Go program I compiled!!!*
*(~100Kb vs 1Mb) I know Garbage Collection adds a lot to size but its still a fun comparison.
- vanzard 12y agoThe large binary size of a Go program has nothing to do with "garbage collection". It's because the binaries are statically linked against the Go runtime. Try compiling a static C "hello world" program and it will be comparable in size to the Go binary.
