About us
A meetup group to discuss the Go Programming Language.
What is Go?
(from golang.org) The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

Embedded Systems with TinyGo (in-person and virtual)
·HybridSPS Commerce, 333 S 7th St UNIT 1000, Minneapolis, MN, USZoom meeting will start just before 6p.
If you're interested in sharing content for this or a future event, please message Jesse Lang!
Join us for "Embedded Systems with TinyGo", presented by Michael Duren, Site Reliability Engineer at Target. Michael will be presenting in-person.
TinyGo is a Go compiler designed for embedded systems and WebAssembly, producing smaller binaries than the standard toolchain. In this session, we'll walk through an example project running on a Raspberry Pi Pico W that communicates with a DHT11 sensor. We'll compare C and Go implementations, looking at binary size, performance, trade-offs, and potential limitations of writing embedded systems in a higher-level language like Go.
