Does Go run on 8-bit CPUs? I highly doubt it, given that Go uses its own runtime system including garbage collection.



Quoting Google's Russel Cox in a mailing list discussion linked to above: "Go requires that int be at least 32 bits and that int64 and uint64 be supplied; practically that means we've given up on 8- and 16-bit CPUs."
