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.
I meant it in the sense of actual slowdown related to binary
size, or impossibility to fit a program on some embedded hardware.
