...here is another kill-feature of Go: Cross-compiling statically linked binaries.
On my linux-system I can build binaries for Mac (or Windows) that do not have any dependencies and will simply work when I copy ONE file to another machine running a different OS.
Do that with Perl.
DONE! (Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS)
NAME
Perl::Dist::APPerl - Actually Portable Perl
DESCRIPTION
Actually Portable Perl (APPerl) is a distribution of Perl the runs on several x86_64 operating systems via the same binary. It builds to a single binary with perl modules packed inside of it.
Cross-platform, single binary, standalone Perl applications can be made by building custom versions of APPerl, with and without compiling Perl from scratch, so it can be used an alternative to PAR::Packer. APPerl could also easily be added to development SDKs, carried on your USB drive, or just allow you to run the exact same perl on all your PCs multiple computers.
