Why Go binaries are so large (and what you can do about it) | Smart Go

The video discusses why GO program binaries are larger compared to languages like C. It demonstrates this with a Hello World program, explaining that GO binaries are statically linked and include the entire runtime and libraries. Methods to reduce binary size, such as removing debug information, are explored, but these have limitations and can affect features like Reflection. The video concludes that GO's design makes it difficult to significantly reduce binary size without losing important debug information.
