1. Go binaries are bloated already. Do they plan to compress this (and other textual info, like full type names) in the binary?
2. I saw enough of build pipelines that do not clone repositories, but do a shallow copy for a tag, and have no .git folder. How much info will be added in this case?
3. Moreover, pretty much every serious build has source generation steps (protobuf, jooq, etc - you name it). If resulting executable will have a very particular info about these, the sheer amount of information added will probably make executables considerable larger.And for the end of it - 2023 sounds about right. Unless that "erythrocyte binding site" prediction is true...
In general, or you can point exact wording in his letter which you consider "rude", sorry?
[meta] I would REALLY love for people down-voting something to explain why they do this. Maybe as HN feature for the first 200 downvotes, you have to reply to the post or upvote one below that explains it...
