Re: "What is a good Small Web programing language ? While I like..."
oberon is a language go borrowed lots of ideas from, and it is used in embedded world. there are different types of machinery and even aircraft with an operating system written in oberon and control software written in oberon.
oberon is more 'dry' if it makes sense, and i like it.
both compilers are small, go, the compiler part is easy to build.
and it generates native code, how bad can native code be? it almost always will be faster and always will take more memory than interpreted language.

It sounds like you might enjoy reproducible-builds.org ... and for go: go.dev/blog/rebuild
Secure builds is an important topic :)
@f008600 i have been written that go compiler can generate small binaries, and apparently there is
I've tried TinyGo last year and sadly it was not nearly usable. Some hardware was supported, but lacking essential features. For example, there was no way to use the WiFi stack on an ESP32, so it is essentially useless. But maybe this has changed. Will have a second look at it!

Burrito is one way to package, but I was referring to Mix releases. When building a mix release, you can include the erlang runtime with it and it is somewhat portable (on a machine with the same architecture)
What is a good Small Web programing language ? While I like Python, it's corporate driven featuritis is getting me down.... C is an obvious Small Web language, but I'd rather use something a bit higher level than that. Any thoughts ?
