To be a bit more specific here: pure Go binaries are trivial to cross-compile and they Just Work™ basically all the time. `GOOS="darwin" GOARCH="arm64" go build .` and you're done. Just iterate over the combinations you care about, they'll all work.

As soon as you or a library touches cgo, you have to deal with finding and setting up C cross-compilation tooling for your target(s), dynamic linking details, tons of stuff that may have nothing to do with your code or be an area you're an expert in as a Go developer.

Golang works on Plan9. It can even bootstrap itself. A few months ago I was trying to setup some server software on 9Front for giggles and while most stuff worked I couldn't past the Sqlite CGO dependencies.

If you still have that itch to scratch, you can try: https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3

You'll need to use the sqlite3_nolock build tag; concurrent writes will quickly corrupt your database. SetMaxOpenConns(1) is your friend.

But it should work. I'm interested if it doesn't. Feedback appreciated.

Very neat! Any idea how its performance compares to the modernc port?

It's slower. But wazero is developing an optimizing compiler for amd64/arm64 (the current one is very naive) which I hope will close the gap on those platforms.
