TinyGo, small but mighty! 💪
summary
TinyGo is a small Go toolchain that compiles Go programs for microcontrollers and WebAssembly using LLVM and a tinygo CLI to build and flash binaries; it produces very small firmware (examples: 1.9 MB vs 33 KB, some targets ~16 KB). The talk demonstrates running TinyGo on devices like micro:bit, Adafruit PyGamer, RP2040 Gopher badge and a Game Boy Advance demo via easyflash/mGBA, notes available drivers for many Adafruit/Arduino boards, and mentions libraries (machine, tinyfont, tiny-gba) with generally successful builds but some tooling and peripheral drivers still needing work.
