TinyGo v0.40 hits with multicore support
TinyGo's latest v0.40 release introduces multicore support for the RP2040 and RP2350 microcontrollers alongside USB Mass Storage capabilities. This LLVM-based compiler remains the gold standard for running Go in constrained environments, producing binaries up to 70x smaller than the standard Go toolchain.
TinyGo's move to v0.40 is a major leap that unlocks the full potential of high-performance microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Multicore support on RP2040/RP2350 provides true hardware concurrency for complex IoT applications, while USB Mass Storage integration simplifies device management by allowing boards to appear as flash drives. Full compatibility with Go 1.25 allows developers to leverage the latest language features while maintaining a minimal binary footprint. Additionally, enhanced WebAssembly support with an experimental Boehm garbage collector improves execution speed in production edge runtimes. While not a dedicated AI tool, TinyGo provides the lightweight runtime necessary for deploying small-scale models and inference logic to the edge.
