Why HN links it

Linked as a source on running Go on very small hardware, via a Go-to-C transpiling approach for ARM Cortex-M. The other comment is a general reply to a Python web framework thread and does not discuss the blog.

Is the performance difference between Django+TastyPie, Flask, or Falcon really going to be the bottleneck holding you back from achieving greatness? If so..then maybe it's better to consider a different tool set. Any number of other high-performance solutions fi…
