Compile builds with tinygo for reasonable system file sizes
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's hard to get Linux users / sysadmins on board with a "text editing" tool that weighs in a a dozen+ megabytes.
Describe the solution you'd like
Go will yield reasonable file sizes when compiled with tinygo:
- https://tinygo.org/
- https://webinstall.dev/tinygo/
(caveat: reflection isn't supported, so the default json package can't be used)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Wrapping git config in a Shell script. An ini parser written in Zig.
Additional context
It's not a thing that many web or cloud guys get, but in the sysadmin community, exorbitantly large binaries are a red flag. CLI text editors are expected to be kilobytes in size.
(caveat: reflection isn't supported, so the default json package can't be used)
This caveat causes quite the problem - A large majority of code in dasel uses reflection
