GO TO > TACOPRONTO.bbs.io Yep what the Doctor said. I cannot recall any huge java like runtime needed it compiled down to a native binary that was small and fast.

I tried AOC with rust as well, liked it but never had a use case for it in the my real world that Go could not handle. --- ￭ Synchronet ￭ Overfit BBS! Bringing back the golden era of BBS Networking. .
