Managed to get TinyGo programs to run on Windows XP!
Why? For curiosity mostly, I hope nobody is still seriously running Windows XP in production (though I probably should know better).
PR: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/4629
Some APIs we were using are only available starting with Windows 7, so I had to fall back to older APIs for GOOS=386. It can be used using GOOS=windows GOARCH=386.
Want to see what you can do with computer vision and WebAssembly? Come to my talk next week at WASM I/O...

TinyGo 0.37 is released! That was fast, especially with all the excellent work that made it in:
- updated WASI support with latest from the Bytecode Alliance
- faster speed+PIO support on RP2350
- new Linux GC
Plus critical fixes too!
Full changelog: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/releases/tag/v0.37.0
We released @TinyGo 0.36 yesterday with so many improvements for WASM/WASI & oh yeah, Go 1.24 support too!
Thank you to the awesome community of human beings who work together across the entire planet to collaborate on this project. You are appreciated!
TinyGo 0.36 is released & we've got what you need right now: initial Go 1.24 support, many WASM/WASI improvements & fixes, RP2040/RP2350 enhancements, LLVM 19, & so much more! Full changelog here:
The Cube Of Life & other wonders await you at @socallinuxexpo in only 2 weeks!
Come chat with us about TinyGo & get some cool stickers too.
SCaLE 22x is in 3 weeks & team TinyGo will be there! See the return of the Gopherbots to @socallinuxexpo & more.
Expo #230 on Fri-Sun, Mar 7-9 Pasadena, CA USA
My FOSDEM talk about threading and multicore support in TinyGo has been released!
Both of my talks from @fosdem last weekend are now available online.
"Return To Go Without Wires" about using Go/TinyGo to make your own AirTags without any Apple hardware:
https://cuddly.tube/w/p/2H3BJMkJZEJRUSUGkAaYGw?playlistPosition=13&resume=true
"Seeing Eye to Eye: Computer Vision using wasmVision" in the first ever WebAssembly dev room at FOSDEM:
Another video from @fosdem featuring TinyGo "WebAssembly-powered game console" about @fireflyzero is available:

No TinyGlobo this year at #FOSDEM ? That was fun to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiX-U753VNw
We just released wasmVision 0.2 along with wasmCV 0.7 just in time for @fosdem
Come see our talk in the #webassembly dev room on Sunday at noon!
New video: a talk from a #golang meetup near Amsterdam. Recorded on 2025-01-16. It covers #WebAssembly, @TinyGo, @mechanoid, @fireflyzero, and a few other cool projects I worked on in 2024.
Newest Golang Weekly has first a bit about the "Go Haystack" announcement & then the latest @gocv update!
It was a busy week. :)
Next week is Gophercon Singapore & I'm bringing the @golang / @TinyGo hardware hack session + giving closing keynote.
Don't miss out on some great speakers & activities.
See you there!

TinyGo 0.35 is out! Last release of 2024 & plenty of presents for you
Improved error messages & new HTML size report
Reflection & runtime & WASM
New hardware! RP2350 w/ #Pico2 + Pimoroni Tiny2350
RISC-V on FPGA w/ Tillitis TKey
Experimenting!
Previously I had MicroPython driving this LED string, but I wasn't convinced I could run an HTTP server at the same time (for receiving commands).
@TinyGo to the rescue!
Pitfalls included:
(1) the PicoW having a different way to address the on-board LED to the Pico, which meant the example code looked like it loaded but did *nothing*
(2) One LED driver implementation doing odd things with the first LED.
Overall, not bad from zero to lit. I'm impressed.
#TinyGo #golang #LEDs
We just passed 1 million downloads of TinyGo!
It is only because of our amazing community, and all that we do together, that this little project could have possibly gotten so far. Thank you everyone!
