    I really like this idea but can anyone please summarize what it does for me. To me it feels very fascinating (bare metal golang in general) but I am not sure I truly understand its usecase and I would love to know more.

      The use cases is not writing unsafe C in first place, and proving the point Go is usable in such scenarios, regardless of naysayers.

      The creators of USB Armory also created TamaGo, instead of using Rust, exactly for the same reasons, to prove a point.

      Because in IT, seeing is believing.

        Quite apart from that, an EFI shell that's less awful than the standard UEFI one is an interesting project in its own right...
