Why is my trivial program such a large binary?

The linker in the gc toolchain creates statically-linked binaries by default. All Go binaries therefore include the Go runtime, along with the run-time type information necessary to support dynamic type checks, reflection, and even panic-time stack traces.

A simple C "hello, world" program compiled and linked statically using gcc on Linux is around 750 kB, including an implementation of printf. An equivalent Go program using fmt.Printf weighs a couple of megabytes, but that includes more powerful run-time support and type and debugging information.

A Go program compiled with gc can be linked with the -ldflags=-w flag to disable DWARF generation, removing debugging information from the binary but with no other loss of functionality. This can reduce the binary size substantially.
