I don't entirely agree with coldtea either but in defence of this project it is very easy to shrink the ELF binaries that Go spits out as there's a lot of debugging hooks in there that arguably you don't need on production boxes:

Sure, my meaning wasn't to talk down the project itself, it looks neat! The "MB does not matter" just jumped at me (somewhat out of context, I have to admit) since I work in the embedded land, and the pain is sometimes too real there.

Obviously the MB don't matter in this case and for the target audience of the editor, not in general and in every context.
