this is interesting, i'm wondering if it can beat just installing go though.

I think it'd be interesting to build a adhoc config mgmt system w/ this and use it as a high level scripting language.

yeah, i think an adhoc config management tool could be a good fit for tiny. i'm not really trying to say it beats go in general. if someone already likes writing go, go is probably the better choice for a lot of projects. the point of tiny is more that you can write a normal program with a dynamic language (that has native escape hatches) and less boilerplate but still ship it as one executable like a go program.

it also has escape hatches for go/wasm and native plugins, so if part of a program needs lower-level code or an existing native library, you can call into a .dll or .so through a simple json-based plugin interface.
