Yes, I understand that in your projects using tinyGo instead of Java/C might be the best possible option. It's just in my own case it doesn't fit. And my scepticism is more about using tinyGo as a WASM compiler, when people for no real reason trying to save few megs of binary size like we are back in 90th. And yes, of course in projects like tinyGo and in many others generics will add a significant cost to development. It's feasible, because it's not a rocket science, but not free. ср, 17 мар. 2021 г. в 16:29, Kevin Chadwick <m8il1i...@gmail.com>: > On 3/17/21 12:11 PM, Space A. wrote: > > I don't think Java failed on micros, for instance look at JavaCard, a > lot of > > SIM-cards are running applets based on it.
