When I look at the Go language feature page of TinyGo <https://tinygo.org/lang-support/>, I don't think that GC is the only or largest hindrance to using it with normal Go programs. TBQH I'm always surprised that people call it a Go implementation - it certainly uses Go syntax, but it's IMO not even close to complete. > *Might* Generics adoption within the stdlib make more of it unusable > (assuming generics poses a problem, it might not). > No. Generics can be implemented as a purely compile-time feature <https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/generics-implementation-stenciling.md> .
