Let-go brings a Clojure-like language to Go with a 10MB static binary and roughly 7ms cold starts
EDITOR BRIEF
Let-go is a Clojure-like language written in pure Go that aims for about 90% compatibility with JVM Clojure while shipping as a small static binary. It offers fast startup, nREPL support, Go interoperability, AOT bytecode, and use cases ranging from CLIs to web servers and systems tools.
INSIGHTS
The project reflects growing demand for Lisp-style ergonomics in lightweight, embeddable runtimes that avoid JVM startup and deployment overhead. If its compatibility and tooling mature, Let-go could appeal to teams building developer tools and scripting layers inside Go-based systems.
