I looked at my Gentoo Go binaries.  The typical binary in /usr/bin
is maybe 1kB to 50kB.  Only the rare file, like tcpdump is over
1MB.

All binaries in /usr/lib/go/bin/ are over 1MB, often past 10MB.  But
when 2 TB is $99 is this a problem?

I do agree that if all /usr/bin became go, that would be a PITA, unless
all the binaries where really one binary, like busybox.  But if all
my daemons (httpd, mysql, ntpd, cups) were Go that would not be a big
deal to me.  Even on a RasPi.

On Gentoo they are all linked with just these libs:

        linux-vdso.so.1
        libpthread.so.0
        libc.so.
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Not sure if that is normal Go, or not.
