correct, the go runtime is *very* heavy, and it's always linked statically.
this adds ~ 1.5MB to any binary (at least on x86_64).
that's about equivalent to the bloat imposed by the C++ stdlib.
on the suckless page, there's something written about plans to migrate
the coreutils functionality to go, this seems like an insane plan if
even dead-simple tools like cat will eat 1.5 MB of your RAM and storage
space.
