🔥 Breaking news, everyone!
It's finally happend! Today, on FOSDEM 2020 Google took under its wing the younger Go brother — TinyGo:
As a fan of microcontrollers, WebAssembly and solutions for Internet of things (IoT), I strongly congratulate TinyGo development team with this achievement and wish them further victories!
What's TinyGo?
TinyGo is a project to bring the Go programming language to microcontrollers and modern web browsers by creating a new compiler based on LLVM.
You can compile and run TinyGo programs on several different microcontroller boards such as the BBC micro:bit and the Arduino Uno.
TinyGo can also be used to produce WebAssembly (WASM) code which is very compact in size.
Supported devices?
TinyGo has support for 27 different boards such as the Arduino Nano33 IoT, Adafruit Circuit Playground Express, BBC micro:bit and more. Click on a board name found in the left menu to see the what features are supported for the given hardware.
TinyGo also has support for several different devices such as accelerometers and magnetometers.

My projects that need your help (and stars) 👇
- 🔥 gowebly: A next-generation CLI tool for easily build amazing web applications with Go on the backend, using htmx & hyperscript and the most popular atomic/utility-first CSS frameworks on the frontend.
- ✨ create-go-app: Create a new production-ready project with Go backend, frontend and deploy automation by running one CLI command.
- 🏃 yatr: Yet Another Task Runner allows you to organize and automate your routine operations that you normally do in Makefile (or else) for each project.
- 📚 gosl: The Go Snippet Library provides snippets collection for working with routine operations in your Go programs with a super user-friendly API and the most efficient performance.
- 🏄♂️ csv2api: The parser reads the CSV file with the raw data, filters the records, identifies fields to be changed, and sends a request to update the data to the specified endpoint of your REST API.
- 🚴 json2csv: The parser can read given folder with JSON files, filtering and qualifying input data with intent & stop words dictionaries and save results to CSV files by given chunk size.

\o/ Yaaaay!!!!!
That's great news!
Cool!
Good news! Thx!
Tinygo have to make an new compiler from scratch for small hardware.
I was expecting it to Debloat vanilla Go to adapt, they have the resources,
just like Nim that can do it with vanilla compiler since years ago.
Anyway, I wish it good luck. :)
That's awesome new!!!
