Technically if you can compile once on one arch a Go binary will run on any distro from what I've heard. You can also cross compile. There's also gccgo and I'm sure other efforts. A decent number of Go projects are advertised to run on a Raspberry Pi. I think that's good enough.

I've gone as far as compiling Go from my Android phone.

Edit here's someone else running Termux with Go:

Wow awesome. I never knew. Thanks!


No problem, I tried out Termux mostly to test it out, and I was impressed. I was able to run a Web Server in Python... and Go was a similar story. You could open it up on your browser and all. I'm convinced all one needs to hack into any system is a good Android device with enough storage, or iOS device with their Linux emulator.


Oh man, I remember that 10 years ago I used my Symbian (Nokia 3230, later N82) smartphones as web server.[0]
