golang compiler on a raspberry pi 3 compiles applications really slowly, think minutes, but there's a workaround which is to cross compile on x86, think seconds plus sftp transfer. i assume the primary use case is to speed up compilation and create smaller binary sizes? this could be helpful as binary sizes for golang compiled binaries are pretty large, my apps typically are around 2-20MB, but i understand they include all dependencies.
