Very cool about the SEA feature, I haven't seen that before. Thanks for sharing that
This is sort of the worst case comparison, but a hello world program in go is 1.5 MiB and the SEA node equivalent is 109 MiB. Obviously as your program becomes more complex that fixed overhead becomes less of an issue but I think it's still a useful comparison.
For the packages, the thing I prefer even more so is writing an application with 0 dependencies at all. net/http, net/http/pprof, flag, pprof, etc are all built in and high quality and you can easily build clis/servers with them. Even a really full featured CLI builder package like cobra has just a few transitive deps and gorilla/mux has none: https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/main/go.sum https://github.com/gorilla/mux/blob/main/go.mod
If I compare that with express.js or commander its a very different story (though, in fairness to commander, they all seem to be dev deps).
I don't think it's bad per se to have deps, just a different culture. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43935067 kinda beat that horse already though

seaweedfs
SeaweedFS is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, cloud tiering. Filer supports Cloud Drive, cross-DC active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX FUSE mount, S3 API, S3 Gateway, Hadoop, WebDAV, encryption, Erasure Coding.
I’m interested in how it is compared to seaweedfs[1], which we use for storing weather data (about 3 PB) for ML training.
