That was one reason I liked Go as well, it's no longer the case though, you can produce native binaries with GraalVM.

Last time I used GraalVM, there were huge holes in what language features were supported, compiling dynamic code was hit-or-miss, and also its cross-compilation story was not good (requires you to compile it on the target architecture). Perhaps my information is out-of-date now?

Yeah I find the argument for Graal to be very disingenuous. It’s certainly not an out of the box solution; I’d say it’s just another Java technology stack we would need to learn. And there are so many of those.

So I guess I also like Go’s batteries-included standard library.
