Yep what the Doctor said. I cannot recall any huge java like runtime
needed it compiled down to a native binary that was small and fast.
The appeal for me was using it for servers that did not need an ngix
referse proxy in front like nodejs.
I tried AOC with rust as well, liked it but never had a use case for it
in the my real world that Go could not handle.
