laughs in golang

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I would love to use golang for this but it’s standard library alone is bigger than the amount of available RAM.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Interesting, since golang only includes the parts of the stdlib that are used in the executable binary.

I just tested it and a simple hello world program still produces a 1.7MiB binary, while the device only has 512KiB of RAM.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

Strip the debug info, should be a lot smaller. Also check out TinyGo, it's meant for embedded devices

BTW: what are you using instead to get small binaries/scripts?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm currently using C++

Likely your C++ implementation also doesn't ship the full standard library. And you may even turn off exceptions and RTTI.
