    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Compiles Go programs for microcontrollers, WebAssembly, and small command-line tools using LLVM.
    • Produces very small binaries optimized for resource-constrained environments while supporting Go language features.
    • Use for developing firmware that runs on popular microcontroller boards like Arduino and Adafruit devices.
    • Use for building WebAssembly modules compatible with WASI and browser runtimes for edge computing.
    • Use for creating lightweight command-line tools that run efficiently on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

    From the README

    TinyGo is a Go compiler intended for use in small places such as microcontrollers, WebAssembly (wasm/wasi), and command-line tools.

    It reuses libraries used by the Go language tools alongside LLVM to provide an alternative way to compile programs written in the Go programming language.

    TinyGo is very useful for compiling programs both for use in browsers (WASM) as well as for use on servers and other edge devices (WASI).

    TinyGo programs can run in Fastly Compute, Fermyon Spin, wazero and many other WebAssembly runtimes.
