Code bloat in what sense? Go is founded on static compilation
so as to
avoid the dynamic library binding "problem". So executable are
5 to
100MB which is code blat in my book. On the other hand they
don't have
library versioning problems which is the bane of Posix.
Actually they do, as shown by the whole "go get" discussion and
the current inability of Go's compiler to link against binary
packages.
